   The newly discovered cataclysmic variable RXJ1914+2456 exhibits a
   modulation period of 567 seconds. Observations with the ROSAT HRI
   indicate a peculiar light curve which is essentially zero for half the
   cycle. The star is either a soft X-ray bright intermediate polar with
   extreme beaming, probably due to absorption, or else it is the first
   known example of a degenerate AM~Her binary. Medium energy X-ray
   observations will allow us to distinguish these possibilities.
