  Relationships among the classes ${\cal M}$, ${\cal M}_\infty$, and ${\cal
M}_{-\infty}$ and the class of \emph{O}-regularly varying functions are shown.
These results are based on two characterizations of ${\cal M}$, ${\cal
M}_\infty$, and ${\cal M}_{-\infty}$ provided by Cadena and Kratz in [7] and a
new one given in this note.
