Velocity-resolved 2.0-2.5-micron observations of the T Tau stars T, DF, DG, DK, HL, and RY Tau, SU Aur, and GW Ori are presented. For each of these stars except SU Aur, the Brackett gamma line was detected in emission with line widths inthe range of about 130-230 km/s. The Brackett gamma line profile of SU Aur is complex, having components of both emission and absorption. The first measurement of CO band-head emission in DG Tau is reported, and it is shown that published radio continuum fluxes of young stars far exceed what could be produced in an envelope ionized by only the stellar photospheric Lyman continuum. The excess of radio emission is found to be much greater in low-luminosity sources (e.g., the T Tau stars).
