Mid/far infrared (MIR/FIR) data were obtained from the Infrared
Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) Faint Source Catalogue (version 2.0) at four
wavelengths ( 
, 
, 
and
.) Giuricin, Marddirossian & Mezzetti (1995) find good
agreement between the IRAS flux and the ground-based,
small-beam 
(N-band) flux. Thus, it appears there are no
strong confusing IR sources in the IRAS beam at the short IRAS wavelengths.
Unless there is a very cool confusing source which only reveals itself at
the longer IRAS wavelengths, this suggests that IRAS is providing a
reliable measurement of the flux of MCG-6-30-15 at all IR wavelengths.
Furthermore, this agreement between the ground-based observations and IRAS
implies that there is little contribution to the NIR flux from the host
galaxy. This is consistent with it being of Hubble type S0.
J-, H-, K- and L-band (i.e. 
) fluxes were obtained from
the ground-based work of Ward et al. (1987).
