An account is given of the variation in spin rate with mean distance from the sun that is exhibited by M-type asteroids whose diameters are smaller than 140 km. Comparisons are made with data for 36 C-type and 55 S-type asteroids. Attention is given to JHK broadband photometry, which yields color indices useful in the division of asteroids into different taxonomic classes, and IDS spectra of asteroids, which contribute to knowledge about the composition of asteroid surfaces and albedo variations.
