In response to VSNET-ALERT 4599, we note that on the nights of March
31 and April 1 (UT) we obtained 15 and 7 spectra (respectively) with
the FLWO 1.5m telescope and FAST spectrograph (3500-7000A, 5A
resolution).  On both occasions, the He II 4686 emission line shows an
S-wave modulation.  While the spacing and coverage of our data does
not allow an accurate determination of the period of the S-wave, it
does suggest the period is between 4 and 5 hours.  This lends support
to the suggestion of Cook, Patterson and Fried (IAUC 7397) that the
orbital period is 0.1706(9) day (see also Cook, VSNET-ALERT 4554).
