     otherwise, from the IRAS-LRS database, without determination of the
     subclass n (Appendix). Most sources classified 5n would have appeared
     as 50 or 05 in the LRS atlas. Spectra quoted as 4no are 4n spectra
     with 18 micrometer silicate emission (Fig.2, rows II and III).
     "kvh" indicates the presence of the 21 micrometer emission
     (Kwok et al., 1989) (Fig.5, row II).
     "int" denotes intermediate spectra with a maximum in the middle of the
     LRS range (Fig.5, row I), probably characteristics of the very early
     stages of the detachment of PPN envelopes (Loup, 1991).
