Spectra of $\nu 2$ + $\nu 5$ of $CH3Br$ and $\nu 2$ of $CHD3$ have been obtained at high resolution using the UTMSL five-meter Littrow system. $\nu 2$ + $\nu 5$ is in resonance with $2\nu 5$ as discussed by $Graner.1$ Results of the single band analysis of $\nu 2$ + $\nu 5$ will be presented; results of the resonance analysis of the $\nu 2$ + $\nu 5$, $2\nu 5$ system will be presented at a future date by Graner and the authors of this paper. The $\nu 2+\nu 5$ spectra exhibit some pressure broadening and the highest attainable resolution using a twelve-meter absorbing path is $0.035cm-1$. Results of the analysis of $\nu 2$ of $CHD3$ will be presented. The $CHD3$ spectra was taken at a resolution of $0.015cm-1$.
