Note (1): References to the carbon star nature. The numbers refer to the
    GCCCS (Stephenson 1989, Catalogue III/156). Other references are labelled:
    MSa = Merrill & Stein (1976a),
    MSb = Merrill & Stein (1976b),
    CK  = Cohen & Kuhi (1977),
    Jo  = Jones et al. (1978),
    3M  = star shows the characteristic 3mum feature (Groenewegen et al. in
          preparation),
    SiC = LRS spectrum shows the silicon carbide feature.
    LRS = LRS spectrum does not show SiC but is very similar to other
          extremely red  carbon stars like AFGL 190 or AFGL 3068.

Note (1): See above
Note (2): Ground based NIR photometry before 1987 is referred to as Ge,
    the Gezari et al. (1987) catalog. Later work is labelled as follows:
    Me = Meadows et al. (1987),
    E87 = Epchtein et al. (1987),
    LB = Le Bertre (1988),
    E90 = Epchtein et al. (1990),
    Jo = Jones et al. (1990).
    Recently, some stars have independently been observed in the infrared by
    Fouque et al. (1992) and Guglielmo et al. (1992). These references are
    labelled as Fo and Gu, respectively.
