Spectroscopy of circumstellar molecular species in the 2-14μm range provides evidence for a range of shell optical depths in the +10216 class of stars. In some cases a photospheric spectrum is present. The spectrum of +10216 shows absorption over a range of velocities including two distinct velocities of different excitation temperature. The occurrence of multiple velocities may be common in similar objects.
