Observations of seven objects selected from the de Grijp et al. Catalog of AGN candidates (1987) and two from the list of Maia et al. (1987) are reported. From their optical spectral characteristics they are classified according to their degree of nuclear activity: two of them as Seyfert 2 types, two others as Seyfert 1.9 types, one as a Liner, adn three as H II region-like galaxies; the reamining one turns out to be a star. Far infrared properties are also used to analyze these objects. Very good correlations between the far IR luminosity and H-alpha and [O III] lambda-5007 luminosities are found for the Seyfert galaxies. The far infrared luminosity of these seems to depend on both, the amount of the dust present and strongly on the number of ionizing photons.
