Description:
Table 3 contains VLA spectra and positions for OH and H2O maser
spots in 74 star-forming regions mapped by Forster and Caswell
(1989A&A...213..339F 1989A&A...213..339F). Galactic coordinates are given, followed by
offset positions of the 22GHz continuum peak (HII) if detected, and
the flux, velocity and positions of OH and H2O maser spots mapped in
that field.
