We have obtained 10.4-12 micrometer spectra at spectral resolution R approximately equal to 190 of the Herbig Ae star Elias 1 in the Taurus dark cloud with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) CGS3 spectrometer, along with an 8-13 micrometer spectrum at R approximately equal to 55. The 11.2 micrometer emission feature matches the wavelength, shape, and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the 11.22 micrometer aromatic hydrocarbon band, consistent with the presence of other aromatic features. A strong 11.06 micrometer feature is present, and there are two possible new emission features at 11.6 and 11.76 micrometer. The strong silicate emission feature is broader and peaks at a longer wavelength than can be reproduced with the Trapezium emissivity. Larger grains, with mean radius a approximately 1.5 micrometers appear to be required, a possible indication of grain growth around a young star.
