IR spectra of SN 1987A are presented from 18, 110, 112, 192, 255, 284, and 349 days after the explosion. The atmospheric windows from 1.05 to 4.1 microns were covered, usually at a spectral resolution greater than 1000. The majority of the emission and absorption features are identified, including H I, He I, C I, O I, Na I Mg I, Ci I, K I, Ca I, Ca II, Fe II, Co II, Ni I, Sr II, CO, CO(+), and possibly AL I, and CS. In addition, the velocity behavior of SN 1987A is examined. The results suggest that mixing of the ejecta occurred. Consideration is also given to the observed redshift of several hundreds of km/s in the emission lines.
