The charge-transfer spectra of the heteronuclear rare gas ions have been studied $previously.1$ Furthermore, rotational analyses have been accomplished for (HeNe)$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">+2</mrow>}$ and (HeAr)$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">+</mrow>}.3$ Nevertheless, the spectra due to the heavier ions are not well understood. New resolved spectra of the charge-transfer transitions of the rare gas ions (ArKr)$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">+</mrow>}$ and (ArXe)$\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">+</mrow>}$ are presented. The spectra were obtained from a D.C. discharge in a supersonic jet.
