Abstract:
    Infrared JHK measurements are presented for 232 reddened and very
    reddened stars selected from the Stephenson & Sanduleak (1971,
    Cat. III/43) catalogue of Luminous Stars in the Southern Milky Way
    (LSS).

Note (1): a) Too faint at K
          b) Too faint at H, K
          c) Of the two stars, the western one appears to be (from the colours)
              a reddened early-type star, although the Eastern one is indicated
              in the Stephenson & Sanduleak (1971, Cat. III/43) charts.
              We have observed the Western star in previous papers.
