Abstract
We revisited the BeppoSAX observation of SAX J0635+0533, suggested as a possible counterpart to the gamma-ray source 2EG J0635+0521. We have discovered a 33.8 ms pulsation from the source and derived an improved position, consistent with the location of the Be star proposed as a binary companion. We interpret the periodicity as the spin period of a neutron star in a binary system with a Be companion.
