Approximately 25 X-ray burst sources among the galactic bulge sources that lie within 30 deg of the direction of the galactic center are discussed in terms of soft spectra, variability, high luminosity and the absence of periodic pulsations and eclipses. Attention is given to the rapid burster MXB 1730-335; in addition, a sky map of Type-I burst sources is given, and a series of bursts from various sources is graphed which illustrate that bursts from one and the same source generally look similar. Burst intervals can be regular or irregular on time scales of hours to days, and a correlation between these intervals and the persistent X-ray emission was found in two burst sources. On the basis of spectral information and the success of the thermonuclear flash model, it is concluded that it is very likely that X-ray burst sources are neutron stars in low-mass binary systems.
