Aaronson and Olszewski (1984) have identified five IRAS infrared sources, previously considered to be blank fields, with faint galaxies. The authors reported previously the results of their VLA D-array observations at 6 cm (Antonucci and Olszewski, 1985), which resulted in detections of all objects at the mJy level. The sources were unresolved by the ≡16 arcsec beam. The present paper reports on B-array observations at 6 and 20 cm, made in order to determine or limit the source angular sizes, and to measure the spectral indices. The source 0358+223 has an angular size of ≡3 arcsec at 20 cm, but no redshift is available for this object; also 0404+101 is marginally resolved at 20 cm. The other sources are unresolved by the ≡1.1 arcsec resolution deep 6 cm maps, implying linear sizes <2 kpc. The spectra are steep, indicating that the radiation mechanism is optically thin synchrotron emission.
