We provide spectral classifications for a sample of 137 stars mentioned as having composite
spectra. The classifications were carried out on 33 Å/mm
spectra in the region 
Å. Of
these 137 objects, 115 correspond in the infrared to cool stars (G, K or M) of luminosity classes III,
II and I; for 22 stars, we find only hot spectra of types B, A, F or Am, so that they do not fulfil our
definition of composite spectra. We detect four new Am stars, and one Am star (HD 70826) turns
out to be a composite spectrum object.
As in Paper II, the cool components of
composite spectra show a strong concentration in the vicinity
of G8III.
