New line parameters of the methane spectrum have been incorporated in the AFGL compilation for the 2385-3200-cm^-1 region and were determined from data recorded at 0.01- and 0.02-cm^-1 resolution. Observed line positions and strengths are given for approximately 8076 absorptions with strengths >3.3 × 10^-24 cm/molecule (8.2 × 10^-5 cm^-2 atm^-1). Lower state energies are given for 97% of the absorptions listed. Most of the lower states are determined through assignment of seven bands of ¹²CH₄ (ν₁, ν₃, 2ν₂, ν₂ + ν₄, 2ν₄, ν₃ + ν₄ - ν₄ and ν₂ + ν₃ - ν₂), four bands of ¹³CH₄ (ν₃, 2ν₄, ν₂ + ν₄ and ν₃ + ν₄ - ν₄), and three bands of CH₃D (ν₁, ν₄, and 2ν₅). A few of the lower state energies are determined experimentally from the data taken at cold sample temperatures.
