        An atlas of Arcturus spectra is presented spanning the 8690-9300 A
     (10750-11500 cm^-1) region.  The high-resolution (lambda/delta(lambda)
     ~ 56000) Fourier transform spectra have been divided by a transmission
     function for the Earth's atmosphere.  The Arcturus spectral features
     have been identified.  This spectral region spans a gap between two
     major atlases, and comparison of the atlases is undertaken.  The
     influence of a grating spectrograph's instrumental profile on
     equivalent width as well as line depth is noted.
