It is noted that Fabian et al. (1975) have suggested a possible association between Ariel 1118-61 and the long-period Mira-type variable RS Cen; a consequence of this suggestion is that the X-ray source should be observable at intervals of about 164.5 days after the outburst observed by Ariel V. This consequence was tested on three separate occasions with the aid of the collimated proportional counter on board Copernicus. It is shown that no signal was detected above the background during the three searches and that, as a result, there is no strong case for an association of A1118-61 with RS Cen. Upper limits on the source strength (2.75-7.5 keV) at the times of the three searches are determined.
