Abstract:
    Distances to nine dark globules are determined by a method using
    optical (VRI) and near-infrared (near-IR) (JHK) photometry of stars
    projected towards the field containing the globules. In this method,
    we compute intrinsic colour indices of stars projected towards the
    direction of the globule by dereddening the observed colour indices
    using various trial values of extinction AV and a standard
    extinction law.
