We present the initial results of a medium resolution, 0.8 to 4.2 μm spectroscopic survey of M, L, and T dwarfs. We have identified the most prominent molecular and atomic absorption features found in the spectra of these late-type dwarfs. We have also compared the spectra to a laboratory FeH emission spectrum and identified nearly 100 features common to the FeH spectrum and the dwarf spectra from 0.99 to 1.8 μm.
