The results of a photometric study of the optical counterpart of the X-ray transient GS2000 + 25 in quiescence are presented. With a mean R magnitude of 21.2, evidence is presented for short-term variability on a time-scale of hours which is consistent with an ellipsoidal modulation of the secondary with a period of 4.1 hr. This indicates an orbital period of about 8.2 hr. The properties of GS2000 + 25 are compared with the soft X-ray transient A0620 - 00.
