A study by Kolatt and Piran [7] has presented evidence that gamma-ray burst sources are correlated with Abell clusters at the 95% confidence level, based on analyses of bursts in the BATSE 3B catalog. Similarly, evidence has recently been presented by Schartel et al. [9] that the positions of BATSE 3B bursts are correlated with radio-quiet quasars. This association is significant at the 99.8% confidence level, and is also supported by an analysis of several smaller error boxes from the 1st Interplanetary Network. Using more precise localization information from the 3rd Interplanetary Network, we have reanalyzed these possible correlations. We find that most of the Abell clusters which are in the relatively large 3B error circles are not in the much smaller IPN/BATSE error regions. We have also found that none of the QSOs which are in the 3B error circles are in the smaller IPN/BATSE error regions. We repeated our analysis using the bursts in the BATSE 4B catalog, with similar results.
