The following spectra were obtained between 1997 and 1999; they are all flux calibrated and generally span the wavelength range 6000-10,000 A. Spectral types are on the Kirkpatrick et al system as defined in Kirkpatrick et al ApJS, 77, 417 (1991 - for M dwarfs) and Kirkpatrick et al ApJ 519, 802 (1999 - L dwarfs). While not all of these stars are primary spectral standards, they are all bright and should provide an adequate reference sequence. ... LHS 320 ,sdM2, red spectrum . ...
