  We consider the $a_{1} (1260)$ contribution to photon and dilepton
productions from hot hadronic matter. The effective lagrangian with $\pi, \rho$
and $a_{1}$ discussed by Ko and Rudaz is employed, which successfully
reproduces the $\Gamma (a_{1} \rightarrow \pi \gamma) = 670$ keV. Our results
for the photon production rate are comparable to those obtained by Xiong {\it
et al.}, while the dilepton production rates come out smaller than those
obtained by Gale {\it et al.} by an order of magnitude.
