Generalized valence bond (GVB) calculations are reported for the 3BI, 'Al, and 'El states of the CH2 molecule. The GVB method is discussed and compared with other multi<onfiguration and separated pati methods. The lowest singlet state ('A') is found to lie O-517 eV about tbc lowest triplet state (3B

For a Hartr&-F61ck ground state wavefunction, singly excited configumtions WGIC insufficient to describe-the lowest excited state, and triply excited configurations had to be added. For muKiconf~ration ground state wavefunctions, however, singly excited configurations gave good results.
