During a search for X-ray counterparts of the COS B ≥100 MeV γ-ray sources, observations using the Einstein Observatory revealed a new X-ray source, 1E0630+178, inside the ≡1/2 square degree error box of the γ-ray source 2CG195+4, 'Geminga'. This source has been proposed as the X-ray counterpart of Geminga. The region of Geminga was observed with the ESA Exosat satellite on 9 - 10 September 1983. This letter presents time profiles of the X-ray emission observed with the Channel Multiplier Arrays.
