Using the data set from T-239 to T+400 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210725B (trigger #1061554)
(Bernardini et al., GCN Circ. 30508).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 192.914, 17.130 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  12h 51m 39.3s
   Dec(J2000) = +17d 07' 48.5"
with an uncertainty of 2.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 98%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a main pulse that starts at ~T0, peaks
at ~T+1 s, and ends at ~T+5 s. In addition, there are some weak emission
that starts at ~T-30 s and ends at ~T+15 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is
48.00 +- 22.63 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-31.46 to T+16.54 sec is best fit
by a simple power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged
spectrum is 1.16 +- 0.43.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
4.9 +- 1.1 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from
T+0.97 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.6 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
