Abstract:
    We have observed 77 evolved planetary nebulae in the J, H, K, L', and M
    photometric bands. As a consequence, we note that most PN fall into a range
    -0.6 < (J-H)_0_ < 0.2 mag , and 0.0 < (H-K)_0_ < 1.2mag, whilst a few
    sources have also been detected in the range 1.0 < (K-L)_0_ < 5.3 mag .
    Most indices (J-H)_0_ are almost certainly depressed through the influence
    of HeI 2^3^ S 2^3^ P emission, whilst stellar continua appear to dominate
    ~ 6 sources, and components of high temperature dust enhance (J-H)_0_ in
    several others. Fully 60% of sources having (J-H)_0_ >=0.0 appear to be
    type I nebulae. Finally, we note that H_2_S(1) and Q band quadrupole
    emission may be important in enhancing K band fluxes for several of the
    nebulae, and the mean value (H-K)_0_ =~ 0.88 mag for H_2_S(1) emission
    sources is significantly in excess of the mean. As a consequence, the
    parameter (H-K)_0_ may prove a useful tool in the prior selection of
    nebulae having shocked, neutral gas. By contrast, the various L' band
    detections are likely to derive from a mix of mechanisms, including
    emission from grains having a broad range of temperatures.
