Abstract

Plots of periods against (25μm – 12μm) colour of OH/IR stars suggest that four IRAS sources, that have been associated with known OH/IR stars, either provide anomalous identifications, or are weak rather than regular variables. It is argued here that only one of these cases is an association error. OH15.7+0.8 and OH37.1–0.8 are the new proto–planetary nebula candidates.
