A more restricted central area was also mapped in the C$^{18}$O (1 -- 0) line. The $^{13}$CO cloud consists of two components: a compact core of $\sim$3 pc in diameter roughly centered on Sgr B2 (M) and an extended plateau of $\sim$17 pc $\times$ 7.5 pc area containing the maser sources and most of the HII regions. Compact, massive ($\sim$3 $\times$ $10^{5}$ $M_{\odot}$) C$^{18}$O cores are associated with Sgr B2(M) and Sgr B2(N). The obtained intensity distributions are compared with those of molecular masers and compact HII regions reported in the literature. Low-velocity (40 -- 65 km s$^{-1}$) masers, with positions roughly aligned in the north--south line connecting the three major compact HII region complexes, are located near the eastern margin of a large hole in the low-velocity molecular cloud. In contrast, most of the high-velocity (65 -- 80 km s$^{-1}$) masers are distributed near the center of a compact molecular cloud at higher velocity, where a shock seems to have occurred. These results provide further evidence supporting the cloud--cloud collision hypothesis based on limited $^{13}$CO (1 -- 0) data (Hasegawa et al. 1994). In addition, this hypothesis appears to be consistent with a wide range of new observations that have appeared in the literature.} \end{abstract} % Here you write which journal accepted your paper, for example: { To appear in Astrophys.
