It has been suggested that the very bright IR bursts observed from the Rapid Burster (MXB 1730-335) are due to Type I X-ray bursts. If the suggestion is correct, similar bright IR bursts may, in general, accompany Type I X-ray bursts. This paper investigates this possibility for one specific case. During the 1977 coordinated worldwide burst watch, simultaneous X-ray and IR observations were made. On 00 h 00 min 25s June 17 UT, a Type I X-ray burst was observed, which was almost certainly emitted by Ser X-1 (MXB 1837+05, 4U1837+04). Simultaneous IR observations failed to detect any bursts.
