We have searched for diffuse features at λ 4430, 5780 and 6613 in the spectra of 17 stars which show infra-red excesses or other grounds for believing that they have dusty envelopes. In no case could we identify diffuse bands that may be ascribed to the circumstellar envelope. We conclude that the grains in circumstellar envelopes are not identical with the grains in the general interstellar medium.
