$^{\ast}$ Unmarked values are from the SIMBAD data base.\\
$^{{a}}$ Olofsson et~al. (\cite{olofsson98}).\\
$^{{b}}$ From the SIMBAD data base but since the
        velocity differs from molecule to molecule and due to the
        variability of SiO~masers, different values can be found in
        other references. Some references are, 9.6$-$12.5~\kms\
        from CO by Olofsson et~al. (\cite{olofsson91}); 11.8~\kms\
        from CO, 9.8~\kms\ from SiO ($v=1,J=2{-}1$) by Cernicharo et~al.
        (\cite{cernicharo}); mean velocities of 10.7$-$11.0~\kms\
        from SiO ($v=1,2,3, J=1{-}0$) by Cho et~al. (\cite{cho}).\\
$^{{c}}$ Benson et~al. (\cite{benson90});
        Benson \& Little-Marenin (\cite{benson96}); Lewis
        (\cite{lewis}).
