Observations of the X-ray source MX 1716-31 by detectors aboard OSO-7 are described. During the study of the MX 1716-31 data, an X-ray flare was discovered which was probably associated with the source. The flare had a total duration of about 10 minutes and reached a peak intensity twice that of the Crab Nebula in the 3-10-keV range. A search for similar events elsewhere turned up one other flare with a position inconsistent with MX 1716-31. Those features of both flare events which are relevant for comparison with other short-lived X-ray phenomena are discussed.
