Spectra between 2.9 and 4.0 microns were taken of 56 emission-line stars and stellar planetary nebulae, and of the bipolar nebulae Roberts 22, M2-9 and Mz3. In seven (possibly eight) cases emission features were found between 3.2 and 3.6 microns. The emission features cover a broad range of wavelengths, and have disparate band shapes, indicating that no single material is responsible in any star. The features are observed both in carbon-rich WC10 stars and in the OH source Roberts 22. Spectra of the WC10 stars between 1.4 and 2.4 microns also show ionic lines which are attributed to H I and C II.
