That's your netbios naming service.  It sends packets basically of
information on other computers running Windows networking.  I wouldn't worry
about it unless your firewall is letting it in, and your letting it out.

We have no entry in /etc/services for port 137.  Yet we receive rather
frequent probes at our firewall on port 137.  Can anyone tell me what
services are provided on port 137?  Thanks.

In general, you can answer port assignment questions by looking at the official
list of assigned port numbers maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (http://www.iana.org/). A copy of the list is maintained at:
