Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 161224***A*** (trigger #728268)
(NAME, et al., GCN Circ. xxxx).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 204.820, -18.029 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  13h 39m 16.8s 
   Dec(J2000) = -18d 01' 44.4" 
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 48%.
 
[Description about the mask-weighted light curve]
T90 (15-350 keV) is 47.4 +- 11.6 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T+12.5 to T+65.2 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index -0.16 +- 1.53, 
and Epeak of 34.4 +- 5.6 keV (chi squared 48.38 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 8.3 +- 1.3 x 10^-07 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+32.88 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
0.8 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 2.20 +- 0.21 (chi squared 61.39 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
