Spectroscopic observations of V1819 Cyg, V827 Her, and V2214 Oph, obtained at 1-2.5 microns using a 32-channel InSb array detector at the Cassegrain focus of the 2.7-m telescope at McDonald Observatory during 1986-1989, are reported. The data are presented in extensive tables and graphs and characterized in detail, with a focus on the nature of the 'coronal' emission. The ratios of Br-gamma (2.167 microns) and forbidden Si VI (1.960 microns) are found to be consistent with coronal gas temperatures of about 10,000 K and with photoionization as the primary mechanism of origin for the coronal species. Severe constraints on theoretical models involving shock heating and collisional ionization are inferred.
