S. Abstract The results of a spectral analysis of the Einstein observations of the bulge of M31 are reported. The data can be fitted with a hard thermal spectrum with characteristic temperature kT of about 6-13 keV (at 90 percent confidence). No intrinsic absorption above the galactic value of N(H) is required. These results are in agreement with the presence in the bulge of M31 of a population of low-mass binary sources similar to those of the Milky Way.
