The H II region NGC 2264 has been observed with the UTR-2 radio telescope at 12.6, 14.7, 16.7, 20, and 25 MHz. The half-power resolution at 25 MHz was 28 x 36 arcmin. The brightness distribution is mapped at each frequency; the nebula appears distinctly in absorption against a brighter nonthermal radio background. Several physical parameters are determined for the H II region: an electron temperature within 2500 K of 4100 K, an emission measure of 0.000275/cm-pc, and an electron density of 2.7/cu cm. The average nonthermal radio-emission density in the medium between the sun and NGC 2264 at 12.6 MHz is within 20 K/pc of 108 K/pc.
