Using the data set from T-61 to T+242 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 100905A (trigger #433442)
(Marshall, et al., GCN Circ. 11214).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 31.542, 14.919 deg, which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  02h 06m 10.0s 
   Dec(J2000) = +14d 55' 08.2" 
with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
 
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single peak starting at ~T-1.7 sec,
peaking at ~T+0.5 sec, and ending at ~T+3 sec.  T90 (15-350 keV) is
3.4 +- 0.5 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.6 to T+2.1 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.09 +- 0.19.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.7 +- 0.2 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.03 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.6 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
