Note again that an OH-IR object does not mean the OH/IR star defined by Habing (1996). The OH-IR objects considered here include not only evolved stars but also H II regions, young stellar objects and molecular clouds (see Col. (3) of Table 1b for details).

A formal estimation of the pump rate for the two GC sources (IRAS 17424-2859 and IRAS 17441-2822) gives very small values of $\approx$0.00007 (estimated from spectrum TDT 09500706: $F^{\rm int}_{34.6}= -27.7\times10^{-19}$ [W cm^-2] and data for OH 359.946-0.048: $F^{\rm int,blue}_{\rm OH}=3.51\times10^{-26}$ [W cm^-2]), and $\approx$0.003 (estimated from spectrum TDT 46001217: $F^{\rm int}_{34.6}= -1.1\times10^{-19}$ [W cm^-2] and data for OH 0.667-0.035: $F^{\rm int,blue}_{\rm OH}= 6.0~\times~10^{-26}$ [W cm^-2]), respectively. On the other hand, it is worth to notice that the "pseudo'' pump rate for megamaser Arp 220 is close to 5! (estimated from spectrum TDT 11000803: $F^{\rm int}_{34.6}= -1.6\times10^{-19}$ [W cm^-2] and its single peak OH 1612 MHz data from Baan & Haschick (1987): $F^{\rm int}_{\rm OH}=5700\times10^{-26}$ [W cm^-2]).
