   In May of this year, a new soft gamma repeater, SGR1627-41, was
   discovered by Ulysses, BATSE, and KONUS-WIND. Its location is
   consistent with that of the galactic SNR G337.0-0.1. Just several days
   ago, we received data from a BeppoSAX ToO observation of this region. A
   quiescent soft X-ray point source is present at a position which is
   consistent with that of the SNR and the triangulated position. Because
   other SGRs have soft X-ray point source counterparts, we believe that
   this is the X-ray counterpart to the SGR. If so, its spectrum is
   probably a power law, and it should have a periodicity in the several
   to ten second range. We are requesting an ASCA observation to confirm
   this.
