Photometric and spectrophotometric observations of Titan in the wavelength interval from 3 to 5 micrometers which were made in Jun. 1990 and Jun. 1991 are reported and analyzed. The broadband flux measured at 4.8 micrometers in both years and on two different telescopes is more than a factor of three lower than measurements made by two independent groups in 1971 and 1973. No other measurements were made in the 17 intervening years. It was concluded that either the original measurements were contaminated by long wavelength leaks or that Titan's albedo at 4.8 micrometers has decreased. The low resolution spectrum obtained near 4.8 micrometers is crudely consistent with the presence of CO at 60 ppm in the lower troposphere and a reflecting layer located between 100 mbar and the surface at 1500 mbar. The spectrum from 3.1 to 4.0 micrometers is relatively featureless at low spectral resolution but has some hints of structure that may yield information at higher resolution and signal to noise.
