The Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) catalog was examined for fluxes for 33 stars deficient in hydrogen. Fluxes are presented for 12 R Coronae Borealis stars (RCB stars), two extreme helium stars closely related to the RCB stars and four helium-rich close binary stars. The fluxes are fitted by black body energy distributions to estimate temperatures for the dust shells found around the stars, ranging from 400 K to 1000 K. Spectra from IRAS Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS) are given for R CrB, RY Sgr and Nu Sgr. It is confirmed that the typical extreme helium stars and hydrogen-deficient carbon stars do not have dust shells observable around them. The cool dust shell around MV Sgr is confirmed, with a temperature of 450-650 K.
