Over the 1.5 year period in 1995-1997 when GRO J1744-28 was active, BATSE observed 5800 bursts from the source. 500 of them were also observed by the GRB experiment aboard \it Ulysses . But, although the source was prolific, it was not particularly intense compared with cosmic gamma-ray bursts and soft gamma repeaters. The overwhelming majority of the bursts were therefore observed by \it Ulysses in a real-time data mode, with time resolutions of 0.25 - 2 s. Each of these bursts can be triangulated to an annulus. Using a statistical method, we have combined the annuli to form an error box. We compare this error box with those obtained from soft X-ray observations, and with the positions of the radio and near-IR sources which have been proposed as the counterparts to the Bursting Pulsar. This work was supported by JPL Contract 958056 and NASA grant NAG5-7810.
