Abstract
We describe a near-infrared imaging survey covering approximately 1 square deg of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud. The survey is complete for K 12.0, based on their positions in the J-H, H-K color-color diagram. These new stars have low luminosities (K > 12 -- 16, H-K > 0.5 -- 1.5) and may have masses close to or even below the hydrogen burning limit.
