S. Barthelmy, J. Cummings, N. Gehrels, H. Krimm, and D. Palmer, on
behalf of the Swift-BAT team, report:

The short-duration, hard, intense GRB 111222A has been observed by
Fermi (GBM), Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), MESSENGER (GRNS), Mars
Odyssey (HEND), and Swift (BAT) (outside the coded field of view) so
far, at about 53515 s UT (14:51:55). We have triangulated it to a
preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
  RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
---------------------------------------------
Center:
  179.193 (11h 56m 46s) +69.036 (+69d 02' 10")
Corners:
  179.439 (11h 57m 45s) +68.877 (+68d 52' 37")
  179.815 (11h 59m 16s) +69.133 (+69d 07' 59")
  178.942 (11h 55m 46s) +69.195 (+69d 11' 41")
  178.575 (11h 54m 18s) +68.936 (+68d 56' 11")
---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 317 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 29 arcmin.
This box can be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.

A Swift ToO observation has been requested.
