Attention is given to variations of the derived values of the excitation temperature of the C-12O-16 lines with radial velocity. The radiative trapping theory presented by Scoville and Solomon (1974) appears to explain the lack of flat-topped C-12O-16 profiles qualitatively. Reasons for quantitative discrepances are briefly examined, giving attention also to the tendency of the C-13O-16 profiles to have flat tops.
