\tablefoot{Note the spectral classification of the OB stars  are from Negueruela et~al. (\cite{n09}), the YHGs from this work (Sect.~6) and the
RSGs from Mengel \& \mbox{Tacconi-Garman} (\cite{mengel}).   Where appropriate, the  Notes column lists stars as {\bf E}clipsing or {\bf A}periodic photometric variables (Bonanos \cite{bonanos}),   {\bf X}-ray (Clark et~al. \cite{c08}) and  {\bf P}oint and/or {\bf R}esolved radio (Dougherty et~al. \cite{d09}) sources. 
Finally, the binary status of 5~stars -- as determined  by Ritchie et~al. (\cite{benbin}) from multiepoch radial velocity spectroscopic data -- is presented, noting that  insufficent data currently exist to confirm the status of the other stars (but note Sect.~6 for W265).}
