We have spectrophotometrically observed twenty M-class asteroids in the 1.2-to 3.5-µm region, sixteen of them for the first time. When we combined these with earlier surveys by Rivkin et al. (1995) and Jones et al. (1990) for a total of 27 asteroids, we find that over 35% of them have absorption fea

A report of the detection of the C-H hydrocarbon band complex at 3.4 µm in an asteroid spectrum, by D. P. Cruikshank and R. H. Brown (1987, Science 238, 183-184) is not confirmed by recent data of higher quality. Spectra of the same asteroid and six other low-albedo asteroids do not show this featur
