Distribution of astronomical sources in the second Equatorial Infrared CatalogueMeasurements of infrared (2.7-micron) source positions and flux densities have been derived based on an additional 60.6 hours of satellite observations beyond those considered in the preparation of the Equatorial Infrared Catalogue No. 1 (EIC-1). These data have been processed together with the EIC-1 data to produce EIC-2. The new catalog differs from EIC-1 as follows: there are 1278 sources; there is a larger percentage of unidentified sources; there are increased numbers of sources identified with Two-Micron Sky Survey sources, AFGL sources, AGK3 stars and SAO stars.
