The evidence of Zuckerman and Becklin (1987) of a significant infrared excess in the white dwarf star G29-38 over the wavelength range 1.25-4.8 microns and their explanation of this excess as being emitted by a brown dwarf companion star are examined critically. Using the data points from Zuckerman and Becklin's published figure and table and the models representing, respectively, a brown dwarf and organic dust grains, it is shown that the observed infrared excess is better fitted by a model involving organic dust grains than by a brown-dwarf model.
