The powerful OH megamasers detected in IC4553 (Baan et al. 1982), NGC3690, Mrk231 (Baan, 1985; Kazès and Dickey, 1985) and Mrk273 (Bottinelli et al. 1985a) show several common properties; in particular, they are strong IR emitters. We have thus undertaken a study of the strongest far IR (100 μm) uncatalogued IRAS sources and we report here on the discovery of a new strong extragalactic maser in the IR source IRAS 17208 −0014 (Bottinelli et al., 1985b)
