Observations are presented for 61 Miras in the South Galactic Cap (b<−30°) which were selected on the basis of their IRAS 12/25-μm flux ratios as high-mass-loss candidates. JHKL photometry (over 1 500 observations) was obtained for all of the stars, optical spectra for 49 and OH-maser detections for four. 58 of the Miras are oxygen-rich, and three are carbon stars with thick shells. Periods have been determined for all of the stars for which they were not already known - they range from 166 to 700 d. The carbon Mira IZ Peg (AFGL 3099) shows two periods, of 488 and 345 d, respectively. Distances and mass-loss rates have been determined for all 61 stars
