We obtained high resolution (λ/δλ ∼ 10,000-20,000) infrared (IR) spectra of Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner (GZ) at five different wavelengths between 1.9 and 5.0 µm during 25-29 October 1998 using CSHELL at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea. We also obtained a moderate resolution

✦ Synopsis
Due to a typesetting error, the last sentence on page 482 was printed incorrectly. It is printed below as it should have appeared:
"C 2 H 6 is depleted by a factor of ∼5 or more compared to its relative abundance in Comets Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1) and Hyakutake (C/1996 B2); this depletion is similar to that observed for C 2 and C 3 from optical observations of GZ (A'Hearn et al. 1995) and suggests that the formation of volatile carbon-chain molecules was inhibited in GZ."
