Abstract
The IRAS Point Source Catalog can be segregated into stars, “IR galactic components”, galaxies, cirrus, and “disk and bulge stars” categories. For each source type, the types and distances of the sources are discussed, and the sky distribution, log N/log S, and identification rate are given.
