IJHKL photometry is provided for 34 carbon stars, all known as variable stars. The low amplitude of variations at infrared wavelengths is confirmed for semiregular and irregular variables. In addition, an H-K versus J-H diagram shows that carbon stars populate a strip (roughly J-H greater than 1.0) with much steeper inclination than the J-H equals 0 to 1.0 sequence of oxygen stars used as standard stars in the Arizona photometry (Johnson, 1965) system. Increasing circumstellar reddening by thicker and cooler dust emission is the main explanation of the strip orientation. It is noted that the H-K versus J-H diagram for cool carbon stars is satisfactorily explained by the circumstellar shell model developed by Bergeat et al. (1976).
