Observations of circumstellar circular polarization in four more infrared stars.Circular polarization at 0.84 micron has been discovered for four stars with characteristics similar to VY CMa and NML Cyg. This polarization is attributed to multiple scattering in an asymmetric circumstellar dust cloud. Some common properties of the class of stars expected to show circumstellar circular polarization are discussed.
