  Cropper et al 1998 presented X-ray observations of RX J1914+24 and claimed
that the most likely interpretation of their data was that of a double
degenerate Polar. Here we show the preliminary results of optical and further
X-ray observations. We identify the optical counterpart and show that no other
period apart from the 569 sec period seen in X-rays is identified. Although the
optical counterpart has no significant polarised flux in the I band, our ASCA
spectrum (which is typical of a Polar) together with our photometric result
adds weight to the conclusion that RX J1914+24 is the first double degenerate
Polar to be discovered.
