Astrometric, spectroscopic, and photometric data on the five known southern carbon stars associated with an oxygen-rich circumstellar envelope are presented. CS2123 is shown to be incorrectly identified with IRAS13442-6109. CS1633 is shown to have been incorrectly classified as a carbon-rich star (in fact, spectral type M7111). The 1-60-micron energy distributions of the three remaining objects (CS1003, MC79-11, FJF270) are clearly bimodal. The observed energy distributions might be reproduced by the model of a detached oxygen-rich shell surrounding a carbon star, but with rather extreme parameters implying, for the central star, a short transition time from the oxygen-rich stage to the carbon-rich stage (less than 100 years). On another hand, the data are not in conflict with the binary star model for these three sources.
