Using the data set from T-711 to T+592 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 131008***A*** (trigger #573667)
(NAME, et al., GCN Circ. xxxx).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 297.376, 30.277 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  19h 49m 30.2s 
   Dec(J2000) = +30d 16' 38.3" 
with an uncertainty of 4.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
 
[Description about the mask-weighted light curve]
T90 (15-350 keV) is 64.00 +- 0.00 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.00 to T+64.00 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.17 +- 0.55.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.6 +- 0.6 x 10^-07 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.00 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.0 +- 0.0 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
