I report further information on RXTE PCA observations of the new transient XTE J1720-318. Observations from 2002 Jan 15.06-15.10 were analyzed, the first 1500 ks of which contained a raster scan pattern, and remainder was pointed near the source position. From the raster scan portion of the data, I determine a best-fit position to be R.A.(J2000) = 17h20m00s, Decl.(J2000) = -31d44.8m. The estimated position error is likely to be dominated by systematic errors in the modeling process, with error radius in the 0.5 to 1 arcminute range.
