IN a recent communication Wampler et al.1 reported the redshifts of the QSO pair 1548 + 115a, b. For the QSO 1548 + 115a the redshift is given as z = 0.4359 and for 1548 + 115b as z = 1.901. Since these QSOs are separated by approximately 5 arc s these authors concluded, primarily on the basis of a statistical argument, that these two objects are at the same cosmological distance and that the redshifts are therefore ``discordant''. In addition these authors noted that the wavelength ratio (1 + z)b / (1 + z)a = 2.02, which is sufficiently close to a factor of two for them to speculate that for such optically associated objects this ``... is either an unfortunate coincidence or a profound mystery''.
