IRAS observations of compact H II regions are compared with the predictions of models consisting of a single hot star, embedded centrally in a spherically symmetric dust cloud. The models are calculated from a program which solves the equation of radiative transfer in spherically symmetric dust clouds, including the effects of scattering. A selection criterion is derived to discriminate in favour of the sources most likely to satisfy the spherical symmetry assumption of the model. Dirty silicate-grain models with a uniform density distribution and r1/r2 in the range 0.0001 to 0.001, where r1 and r2 are the inner and outer radii of the cloud, given an excellent fit to the IRAS observations.
