Stars are ordered in terms of decreasing X-ray flux, with errors given for this parameter and orbital period if provided in the original study. We quote dynamical masses only, with those given in italics representing lower limits. Regarding individual sources, WR20a, 22 and 25~have all been flagged as X-ray variable (Naze et~al. \cite{naze}; Gosset et~al. \cite{gosset}; Pollock \& Corcoran \cite{pollock06}), while the X-ray fluxes given for the Arches sources assume a 1T fit; a similar fit for CXO J1745-28 results in a directly comparable flux (Wang et~al. \cite{wang}; Mikles et~al. \cite{m06}). The converse is also true; the 2T (0.9~+~5.8~keV) fit for F9 favoured by Yusef-Zadeh et~al. (\cite{yz02}) yields $L_{\rm x} \sim 8 \times 10^{34}$~erg~s$^{-1}$; we choose to present the 1T fits for all three stars since Yusef-Zadeh et~al. (\cite{yz02}) only present a spectral fit for F9.
