The emission lines H-alpha, H-beta + forbidden O III, and L-alpha have been observed in the high-redshift quasar 1225+31. The ratios of line intensities in 1225+31 are found to be approximately 0.8 for L-alpha/H-alpha, about 4 for H-alpha/(H-beta + forbidden O III), and between 4 and 10 for H-alpha/H-beta. The observed value of L-alpha/H-alpha agrees well with the ratio derived by Baldwin (1977) on the basis of a composite quasar spectrum, as well as with direct determination of this ratio in 3C 273 and PKS 0237-23. The ratio H-alpha/H-beta is in the range of values found for a sample of low-redshift quasars by Baldwin (1975). The low value for the L-alpha/H-alpha ratio cannot be reasonably explained by foreground extinction between the sun and 1225+31.
