We observed the transient pulsar SWIFT J1626.6-5156 (Palmer et al., ATEL #678, Markwardt & Swank, ATEL #679) eleven times, including the observations reported in ATEL #679, from 2005 Dec 19 to 2005 Dec 31. Strong pulsations are detected at the ~15.37s period from all observations, with a peak- to-peak pulsed amplitude of about 50%, weakly dependent on energy. The pulse shape is roughly rectangular and it shows little changes with energy.
