Abstract
The near infrared (J, H, K and where possible L) photometry of two H II regions in external galaxies and of eight blue galaxies is presented. The ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared colours are used to demonstrate that some of the blue compact galaxies may be genuinely young objects.Keywords
