Abstract
A detailed description of a continuing survey for distant, cool supergiants near the galactic plane in the southern hemisphere is presented. Candidate stars are found on near-infrared objective-prism plates, and confirming observations are made with near-infrared narrow-band photometry and medium-resolution CCD spectroscopy. The fluxes of 36 southern and equatorial standard stars for the eight-color narrowband system are given. It is shown how stars are classified in temperature and luminosity type and how the photometry is used to derive distances and reddening
