This paper presents the complete spectrum of NGC 4151 from 0.87 to 2.5 μm as well as detail of the Paschen α profile in 3C273 at a resolution of about 5000. Analysis of the several observed Fe II lines yields a most probable electron density of 104 and a most likely temperature of 104. The Fe II to H ratio is 2+/− 1 × 10−6 which is 5–7% of the available iron if the Fe/H ratio is solar.
