Measurements of the $^{2}\pi_{_{3}/_{2}}-{^{2}}\pi_{_{3}/_{2}}$ transitions of the 2-0 band of $^{35}C10$ have also been made. Improved rovibrational constants will be given along with improved values for the energy levels and infrared transition frequncies. The Herman-Wallis term describing the rotational dependence of the intensity has been determined from relative line intensity measurements made across the band. From this term it has been possible to determine the 1-0 transition moment and intergrated band intensity without measuring C10 concentration
