%X Attention is drawn to the advantage of using certain selected a-type transitions of near-symmetric prolate asymmetric tops for precise determination of µb or µc in such molecules. For two such molecules, propynal and (E)-crotonaldehyde, new values of µb have been determined (Cm):  propynal µb = 4.897(50) &#215; 10-30 (E)-crotonaldehyde µb = 3.403(59) &#215; 10-30 which are substantially different from those previously published. Some other uses of Stark-effect measurements on such selected transitions are briefly indicated.
