The main features and classifications of six transient X-ray sources that have been precisely located with the aid of the modulation collimator on HEAO 1 are discussed. The sources observed include the X-ray nova H 1705-25, the bright transient H 1743-32, two associations between bursters and flaring X-ray sources (MX 1608-52 and MXB 1659-29), the hard pulsating transient 4U 0115+63, and the fast high-latitude transient H 0449-55. Good optical counterparts are found for H 1705-25, MX 1608-52, 4U 0115+63, and H 0449-55. It is hypothesized that the low-mass binary model is applicable to H 1705-25, H 1743-32, MX 1608-52, and MXB 1659-29. 4U 0115+63 is identified with a B-star/neutron-star wide binary system, and an identification with an M-giant system is suggested for H 0449-55.
