Abstract
The accreting pulsar GX 301--2 (P = 680 s) has been observed continuouslyby the large area detectors of the Burst and Transient Source Experiment(BATSE) instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory since 1991 April5. Orbital parameters determined from these data are consistent with previousmeasurements, with improved accuracy in the current orbital epoch. The moststriking features in the pulsar frequency history are two steady and rapid spin-upepisodes, with (3-5) Theta10...Keywords
