A search for water maser emission in 112 bright, southern IRAS sources was conducted. Water maser emission was detected in 27 cases. These sources include M-type stars and previously unidentified IRAS objects. The detection rate is discussed with reference to IRAS low-resolution spectral (LRS) class and the (60-25) micron color index. Water maser emission was detected in three sources which have LRS class 4n, indicating the presence of 11-micron SiC emission. The O/C-richness of the circumstellar envelopes of these sources is discussed, and it is concluded that these sources are probably M-type stars whose LRS class is misassigned.
