[fr] We report the near-IR identification of the likely counterpart to X1908+075, a highly-absorbed Galactic X-ray source recently suspected to belong to the rare class of OB supergiant-neutron star binary systems (Wen et al. 2000, ApJ, 532, 1119; Levine et al. 2004, ApJ, submitted, astro-ph/0404428). The Einstein and HEAO 1 satellites have localized this X-ray source with an uncertainty of about 50''.
