In this paper, it is shown that the interaction responsible for making the series of 'forbidden' transitions from the state (n tau K) = (110) in the ground vibrational (v = 0) state of the levels of (122+) in the CH3-rocking vibrational state (v = r) of methanol is 'Coriolis' resonance and not 'Fermi' resonance as proposed in a recent publication. This has been established from the J-dependence of the observed perturbed energy spacings between the two interacting pairs from high resolution spectroscopic analysis. The J-dependence clearly follows the classic 'Coriolis' interaction matrix elements for delta K = 2, which would not occur if the interaction were due to 'Fermi' resonance.
