\caption{Target MERLIN sources. 
Column~1:  source name;
Cols.~2  and~3: optical position from  NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED);  
Col.~4: adopted distance  from  Ho et~al. (\cite{Ho97a}) 
with $H_{\rm 0}=75$~km~s$^{-1}$~Mpc$^{-1}$;  
Col.~5: spectral type from Ho et~al. (\cite{Ho97a}). L~= LINERs, S~=
Seyferts, and T~= composite LINER/H{\sc ii} galaxies.  Colons refer to
uncertain~(:)  or highly uncertain (::)  spectral classification.  The
number 1.9 refers  to the presence of broad H$\alpha$ emission and  2 refers to the
absence of  broad H$\alpha$  emission; 
Col.~6:  hubble type  from Ho et~al. (\cite{Ho97a}).}\label{t1}
