This pulse was detected at Galactic latitude, $\sim27^{\circ}$ with the line-of-sight DM accounting for only $\sim58$ pc cm$^{-3}$ of the total observed DM from the NE2001 model. The YMW16 model estimates $\sim 63$ pc cm$^{-3}$. FRB 160410 has the lowest DM excess $\sim220$ pc cm$^{-3}$ of any published FRB, potentially making it the closest FRB discovered to date and an excellent candidate to search for repeat pulses.

FRB 160608
----------

The burst occurred in an observation of the pulsar J0738$-$4042 at $l = 254.11$ deg and $b=-9.54$ deg on 2016 June 06 at 03:53:01.088 UT with a total DM of $\sim682$ pc cm$^{-3}$ and $\sim238$ pc cm$^{-3}$ contribution from the Milky Way (NE2001). The YMW16 model’s estimate however is $\sim 310$ pc cm$^{-3}$. It was seen $\sim0.5^{\circ}$ from the boresight position. FRB 160608 was detected with S/N $\sim 12$, just above the detection threshold of 10 and it occurred towards the centre of the primary detection fan-beam (Beam 208). No pulse was detected in the adjacent fan-beams (see Figure \[fig:frbs2\]). This was initially of concern, but tests with the Vela pulsar placed sufficiently far South of the telescope boresight, to produce an individual pulse with the same S/N showed that
