************************************************************************* 72042 XTE J1855-026 was discovered during RXTE PCA slews of the Galactic plane. Followup PCA observations showed pulsations at a 362 second period and enabled a moderately accurate position to be determined. With this position, it was then possible to obtain an ASM light curve which showed a, presumably orbital, modulation at a period of 6.1 days. The source had first been suspected to be a Be star system. However, this combination of pulse and orbital periods is more typical of a supergiant wind accretion driven system. We propose here to study the spectrum, in particular the iron line, and refine the position of the source. The iron line properties will help determine whether this is a supergiant or Be type system. The improved position will aid in searches for the optical counterpart. *************************************************************************
