An examination of the existing period searches for 2CG 195+4 leads to the conclusion that the 59 s periodicity is highly significant only for the 1981 March 17 - 18 detection of Bignami, Caraveo & Paul (1984).The statistical significance is increased substantially if the pulsation period is half the previously reported value. The period derivative is not well determined. The authors propose that 2CG 195+4 is a neutron star powered by accretion from a low (⪉1 M_sun;) mass main-sequence companion.
