RXTE ToO observations on 6 April 2010 of the x-ray transient detected by MAXI (ATel #2527) show strong pulsations at a period of 205.26(5) s (not barycentered), with a 35% pulse fraction ([mean-min]/mean, 3-60 keV). This is close to the period of 202.5(5) s found by Reig & Roche (1999, MNRAS 306, 100) for RXTE J0440.9+4431 = BSD 24-491 = LS V +44 17. We therefore conclude this is the out-bursting source.
