The SMM gamma-ray experiment has observed 60 gamma-ray bursts from March 1980 to August 1982. Details of one burst are illustrated. There is weak evidence for a broadened spectral feature early in the burst, which was also detected by the Konus experiment. The present detailed search is limitd to narrow lines (less than 70 keV FWHM) near 500 keV; none is found in any of the bursts. This absence contrasts with the reported detection of several broader features (Mazets et al., 1981). The implications for the physical conditions in the annihilation region are discussed.
