  The long GRB 091208A (Swift/BAT trigger #378554 ; Barthelmy et al., 
 GCN 10264) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM) which 
 covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2009-12-08 08:46:00.546 UT (=T0).

 The observed light curve shows a single peak starting at T0 s, 
 ending at T0+10 s with a duration (T90) of about 6.6 seconds. 
 The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 4.85(-0.99, +0.65) x10^-6 erg/cm^2. 
 The 1-s peak flux measured from T0 s was 1.94 (-0.60, +0.61) 
 photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.

 Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.5 s to 
 T0+10 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 
 2.04 (-0.24, +0.28) (chi^2/d.o.f = 48.5/33).

 All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
 in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
