\caption{\label{tab:herbig.stars}Table showing sightline data for \dib8037 observations.  For the \ebv\ values, $B-V$ photometry are from \citet{perry97} and spectral types from the modal averages of all data referenced in the SIMBAD database (URL: {\tt http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/sim-fid.pl}); intrinsic stellar photometry is from \citet{wegner94} with the exception of Cyg OB2 5 and 8a for which photometry was taken from \citet{massey91} and Cyg OB2 12 which is of uncertain spectral type and photometry as discussed by \citet{gredel94}.  Approximate stellar distances $d$ (accurate to around $\pm$$50$\%), were calculated from the spectral types and absolute magnitudes of \citet{wegner06} (stellar apparent magnitudes were dereddened assuming a ratio of visual to selective extinction ($R_{\rm V}$) of 3.1).}
