Abstract
The newest circumstellar maser, silicon monoxide, is discussed, and its relationship to the other known circumstellar masers, hydroxyl and water, is briefly explored. Most silicon monoxide masers are associated with post-main sequence objects which are also water and hydroxyl masers and from this association new interpretations of maser velocities, geometries and distances have been found.
