Abstract
$TheH_{2}$ molecule (and Its isotopic variants) is unique in that abundant spectroscopic data and ab initio calculations are each available with accuracies of the order of $1 cm^{-1}$. States of prime interest for comparison are the B and C states, the upper states of the Lyman and Werner bands, respectively. A preliminary comparison for the B state was recently published$^{1}$, but in particular improved ab initio results have been obtained$^{2}$; a similar study of the C state will be reported.
