             SPECTRAL TYPES OF 60 RED VARIABLE STARS

   The spectral types given in Table I were estimated from infrared-
sensitive objective-prism plates taken with the Warner & Swasey Observatory
Burrell Schmidt. All stars are contained in the Infrared Astronomical
Satellite Point Source Catalogue, and the types were determined in the
course of a systematic identification of IRAS sources in a number of
areas, mainly at the higher galactic latitudes. Generally, the stars
appeared on only a single plate.
