A summary is given of the molecular bands occurring in the near-infrared spectra of cool stars, especially those having sufficient strength and freedom from contamination to be measurable by narrow-band photometry. In some cases useful indices of both temperature and luminosity can be obtained from such measurements. Several bands remain unidentified, including the 9910 Å band in late M dwarfs and at least nine bands in cool S stars.

Three topics of a spectroscopic nature are discussed. (1) In Mira variables, grossly different spectral types are sometimes obtained from zero-volt and excited TiO bands of the same band system. (2) A few M stars have been found to show bands of’ both VO and CN at the same time. They may be the coolest known supergiants, although there remains some doubt as to their luminosities. (3) The first results are given from a program of measuring crude C12/C13 ratios from narrow-band photometry of sensitive points on the profile of the ∆υ = + 2 band sequence of CN. The observations require only a few minutes per star, and the method can be applied to G and K giants and supergiants as well as to carbon stars.
