The conclusion of Suzuki and Tohmatsu (1976) that the rotational temperature of OH in bands arising from vibrational levels with quantum numbers of 6 through 9 are 100 to 150 K higher than that in bands arising from lower vibrational levels is shown to be insufficiently convincing. Average multihour measurements of OH rotational temperature are reported which are usual for the real atmosphere at the altitude where OH emission originates. It is concluded that slight differences in the rotational temperatures in different OH bands almost reflect actual variations in environmental temperature.
