Abstract:
    An update is presented of the Arcetri Atlas of water masers (Comoretto
    et al. 1990A&AS...84..179C). It contains the results of observations
    of water masers with the Medicina 32-m antenna. The observed sources
    were all discovered in the period 1989-1993, and were found either
    directly in the course of our own programs or were taken from the
    literature in which case they were re-observed at Medicina. We give
    the observed parameters of 214 sources in tabular form, and present
    all the spectra of the 141 detections.

Note (1): In case of no detection, the minimum and maximum velocities
     indicate the total useful velocity extent of the spectrum.
Note (2): When the peak flux is reached in more than one component, the
     velocity of each of these components is listed on a separate line,
     followed by an *
Note (3): The lowest number for each entry is the coded reference to the
     publication in which the maser was first reported. Reference codes
     are specified in file "refs.dat"
