Observations of the integrated continuum flux density of several stellar planetary nebulae have been made at 90 GHz. These are reported, with some remarks on their significance for objects with positive radio-frequency spectral index, and to display graphically their relation to published microwave and near-infrared data. The 90-GHz data have been obtained with the 11-m dish of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory* on Kitt Peak, under the Lockheed Independent Research Program. Three of the objects have been included among a dozen stellar planetary nebulae observed with the Fabry-Perrot interferometer at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatoryt so as to provide kinematical information with the microwave spectral data, since they are related in the theories of the positive spectral index that appeared in 1975. The Fabry-Perot observations are reported in Astrophys. J. 1977 September 15. No other journal article is yet in press.
