An analysis of the spatial distribution of the 2-7 keV X-ray background measured by Uhuru and reported by Schwartz (1979) is presented. The latitude distribution above 10 deg is consistent with a uniform isotropic component comprising the bulk of the radiation plus a galactic part varying from 3% at /b/ = 20 deg to 1% at /b/ = 90 deg. An analysis was made of the residual background based on the work of Warwick, Pye, and Fabian, in terms of a directional anisotropy as indicated by the Compton-Getting effect; the symmetrical galactic contribution was subtracted in the computations. It was shown that the results are consistent with the solar system moving through the 2-7 keV X-ray sea in the same manner as it appears to move with respect to the 2.7 K radiation.
