HD 219150, an F0 V star with a one-quarter magnitude excess in (U-B) as shown by UBVRI and four-color-H beta observations, is discussed. An attempt is made to explain this excess by examining metal deficiency in HD 219150 and by seeking an extremely hot subdwarf companion. Spectrograms at both classification and higher dispersions discounted the first possibility, while far ultraviolet data and radial-velocity measurements eliminated the second. Computation of the fluxes expected from free-bound Balmer emission and free-free emission from an optically thin gas also proved unsuccessful in explaining the ultraviolet data. Also considered was variability on a long time scale, but the star was found constant in light, including U, to better than 0.01 m over four months of observation.
