Konus-Wind  and INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS) also observed this burst (GCN
2426).  The Earth-crossing time was 33855 s.  We have triangulated it
to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box with approximate area 350 square
arcminutes whose coordinates are:


    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)
 ERROR BOX CENTER:  15 h  1 m 46.96 s    -16 o  9 '  34.86 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 15 h  2 m 48.10 s    -15 o 44 '   7.45 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 14 h 58 m  8.52 s    -17 o 43 '  29.45 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 15 h  5 m 22.96 s    -14 o 31 '  30.06 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 15 h  0 m 45.64 s    -16 o 34 '  43.88 " 

This error box may be improved.
