Infrared absorption spectra of $GeH4$ over the wave number range 250 to $5000cm-1$ have been observed with resolution of 0.2 to $0.5cm-1$. Several new overtone and combination bands have been identified. Preliminary values of line positions, intesities, and spectroscopic constants will be presented. Possible applications of these results to the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter will be discussed.
