The arrival times of 183 gamma bursters are compared with two large samples of naturally occurring neutrino interactions. In the absence of a complete picture of the nature of gamma bursts such a search could tie them to other high-energy astrophysics phenomena. The neutrino samples have been collected by a large underground proton decay experiment, known as IMB. In this paper the IMB-contained neutrino sample and the IMB upward muon sample are compared to the record of gamma bursts observed with the Soviet Venera spacecraft and the Japanese Ginga spacecraft. The neutrino energies for the contained sample used in this search are from 70 MeV to 2500 GeV. The upward muon sample used is composed of neutrino interactions with energies above 2.5 GeV. There is a significant amount of overlap in exposure of the neutrino detectors and these satellites. No correlation is observed. A limit of about 2.74 x 104 ergs/sq cm is placed on the neutrino flux associated with all of the gamma bursts studied.
