The four clumpy irregular galaxies Mkr 8, 296,297 and 325 have been observed by IRAS. All galaxies have been detected in at least two of the four detector bands. The ratios of the 100 to 60-m flux densities are comparable to those of HII regions or violently star forming galaxies. The average star formation rate in clumpy irregular galaxies is of the order of a few solar masses per year (based on their average far-infrared luminosity and a Hubble constant of 75 km s−1 Mpc−1.
