New infrared photometry in the wavelength range 1 to 20 microns is presented for the unusual early-type star LHα 25 = Walker 90 in the young cluster NGC 2264. Together with previously-published UBVRI photometry, these data show that the broad-band spectral-energy distribution of this star has a minimum near a wavelength of 1 micron and rises rapidly to a wavelength of 20 microns. This form of spectral-energy distribution is shown to differ significantly from those of three other early-type young stars with infrared excesses (AB Aur, V380 Ori, and Z CMa), all of which have infrared excess components similar to those found in typical T Tauri stars. It is argued that the unusual spectral-energy distribution of LHα 25 = Walker is further evidence that this star is seen through a nearly edge-on circumstellar disk, as suggested by Strom et al. (1972). Broad-band 10-micron magnitudes are also given for three other young stars in NGC 2264.
