A long-term periodicity was recently reported for the X-ray source AX J1700.2-4220 (Corbet et al. ATEL #2259). Here we report that XMM data show the that the source is a 54 second X-ray pulsar and that RXTE PCA bulge scan data confirm the 44 day apparent orbital period. We examined archival X-ray data taken by Swift XRT (5900 sec exposure on 2007-02-17), XMM Newton (6900 sec exposure on 2007-02-24), and Chandra ACIS-S (1650 sec exposure on 2007-09-30).
