The optical object corresponding to the transient X-ray source A0620-00 is identified. The position (1950) of this object is given to a precision of 2 sec as: right ascension 6 hr 20 min 11.2 sec, declination -0 deg 19 min 10 sec. It is noted that the object has undergone a substantial change in brightness since the X-ray source was first detected and that three low-dispersion spectra of it show no emission or absorption features. Similarities between the present object and Sco X-1 are discussed.
