Abstract:
    We present the results of a near-infrared monitoring programme of a
    selected sample of stars, initially suspected to be Mira variables and
    OH/IR stars, covering more than a decade of observations. The objects
    monitored cover the typical range of IRAS colours shown by O-rich
    stars on the asymptotic giant branch and show a surprisingly large
    diversity of variability properties. Sixteen objects are confirmed as
    large-amplitude variables.

Description:
    Table A contains the summary of the near infrared photometric
    measurements.
