Early reports from the BATSE experiment seem to suggest that the observed gamma-ray bursts occur in a highly flattened region of space. This inference, however, is contradicted by the apparent isotropy of the bursts. Here, it is demonstrated that this apparent dilemma can be resolved in a straightforward manner if bursts occur in a bounded spherical volume centered about the observer. Such a geometrical distribution of the bursts can be consistent with the apparent isotropy of the bursts. Two different models in which the burst population is uniformly distributed in a bounded spherical region of space are considered.
