We have observed two very long type II bursts (>200 s) from the Rapid Burster (MXB 1730-335) on 1979 March 3 UT. Similar long bursts were observed about 5 months later, in 1979 August, by the Japanese satellite Hakucho. This new burst mode is possibly related to the early stage of the turn-on. In this paper we present the results of the analysis of the bursts from the Rapid Burster as observed by the SAS 3 X-ray observatory during March 3--5.
