Measurements of the diffuse background radiation in the 85-115 // band are presented, as observed from altitudes close to 190 km with a rocket-borne, liquid helium cooled telescope. Evidence is given for detection of the galactic background due to thermal grain emission at galactic latitudes of 5-35°, and at a galactic longitude of ~ 163°. At small latitudes, the background intensity is measured to be ~ 9 x 10 -11 W cm -2 sr" 1 ; the average number density of grains derived is consistent with
