Description: 
   An analysis of IRAS data is presented for a 57pc^2^ area of the nearby
   Corona Australis dark cloud complex. A total of 79 far-infrared sources
   are detected at 12{mu}m or in at least three IRAS bands. Combining
   these data with both newly obtained and previously published
   optical/infrared data, a total of 16 IRAS sources are identified with
   young stellar objects which are in close proximity to the R Coronae
   Australis cloud or Rossano Cloud B. Among these objects is a cold,
   heavily obscured young stellar object, IRAS 32, which radiates only
   in the 25-100{mu}m bands and is found to be associated with an
   extended near-infrared nebula. The majority of the remaining 63 IRAS
   sources in the sample appear to be related to field stars.

Note (1): Flux densities and source sizes followed by a colon are uncertain due
           to low signal-to-noise and/or source confusion. "c" indicates source
           confusion which did not permit a flux determination. All flux
           densities were determined from in-scan slices using the ADDSCAN
           utility, except for Sources 21 and 34 which were derived from the
           Pointed Observations
Note (2): "TT" denotes T Tauri star. References to spectral types and H{alpha}
            emission from Knacke et al. 1973 and Marraco & Rydgren 1981.
Note (3): (1) Near-infrared photometry for 2{mu}m sources presented in Table 3
          (2) Extended emission associated with visible reflection nebula.
          (3) Source is badly confused in all bands. Integrated fluxes are
               greater than 60Jy at 60 mum and greater than 240Jy at 100{mu}m.
          (4) S CrA is a double with separation of 1.4 (Herbig 1962).
          (5) Far-infrared source also mapped by Cruz-Gonzales, McBreen, &
               Fazio 1984 and/or Wilking et al. 1985.
          (6) TS 13.1, R1, and R2 are from the 2{mu}m survey of
               Taylor & Storey 1984.
          (7) The HH100-IR source is confused with R CrA. Flux densities for
               both sources were derived assuming R CrA is a point source in
               all bands.
          (8) VV CrA is a double star with separation of 2" with companion
               brightest in the infrared (B. Reipurth 1991, private comm.).
          (9) VSS 10 is from the 2 mum survey of Vrba, Strom, & Strom 1976a.
         (10) Source associated with Cloud B (Rossano 1978).
