Fifty-one objects in the 5−1 − 40E methanol line at 84.5 GHz was detected during a survey of Class I maser sources. Narrow maser features were found in 17 of these. Broad quasi-thermal lines were detected towards other sources. One of the objects with narrow features, the young bipolar outflow L 1157 was also observed in the 80 − 71A+ line at 95.2 GHz; a narrow line was detected at this frequency. Analysis showed that the broad lines are usually inverted. The quasi-thermal profiles imply that the line opacities are not larger than several units. These results confirm the plausibility of models in which compact Class I masers appear in extended sources as a result of an appropriate velocity field.

Measurements of linear polarization at 84.5 GHz in 13 sources were made. No polarization was found except a tentative detection of a weak polarization in M 8E.
