A high-resolution spectrum of the series of lines near 6825 A presumably due to CH4 has been obtained for Uranus. The line spacings are in agreement with the previous observations of Owen (1966), Bergstralh (1975), and Belton and Hayes (1975) but not with the laboratory observations reported by Lutz and Owen (1976). It is proposed that the transitions identified by Lutz and Owen are not correlated one-to-one with those features observed in the planets. Wavelength differences of up to 0.8 A are found between the laboratory and planetary features, where the resolving power allows one to specify the line positions to better than + or - 0.07 A. The spectrum obtained for Neptune is in essential agreement with that for Uranus.
