Abstract
A high energy (E > 400 GeV) gamma ray database on Cygnus X-3 covering the observational interval 1983–1985 has been examined for possible evidence of a 12.5908 ms. pulsar, as recently reported by Chadwick et al. (1). The results of our period search fail to substantiate the original observation. Reasons why the two results may not be incompatible are discussed.
