The Einstein X-ray Imaging Instruments have been used to explore, down to an unprecedented sensitivity, the X-ray behavior of 7 high-energy γ-ray sources discovered by the COS-B satellite. 32 low latitude (|b| < 5°) Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) fields, yielded 30 soft X-ray sources. While the density of ≡1 source/IPC field is consistent with the value found at higher latitudes, the percentage of "stellar" identifications among these low-latitude sources is significantly higher than in non-galactic-biased samples.
