The indicated range of masses derives from using the inner Galaxy value $X=1.9 \times 10^{20}$~cm$^{-2}$(K~\kms)$^{-1}$ and allowing a possible~45\% increase at the edge of the Galaxy (see text). 3.\ Assuming LTE-conditions, and $T_{\rm ex}=20$~K. Smaller values are for local abundance ratios for [H$_2$]/[$^{13}$CO] and [H$_2$]/[C$^{18}$O], higher values are for abundances extrapolated to the FOG (see text). 4.\ $M_{\rm vir}=126$ $r$ ($\Delta V)^2$, for a density distribution $\propto$$ r^{-2}$, and using $r_{\rm e}$. 5.\ Equivalent width, derived from the area under the emission line and the peak temperature. 6.\ Excluding the wing emission. \end{table}
