Varshalovich and Levshakov (1981) have conducted an analysis of the absorption spectrum of the quasar PKS 0237 - 233. They claim to have found 12 redshift systems containing CO lines, and they tabulate five of these. The present investigation is concerned with the possibility that the CO redshift systems proposed by Varshalovich and Levshakov are due to chance coincidences. A description is given of results which show conclusively that the number of CO redshift systems found in the absorption-line spectrum of PKS 0237 - 233 is insignificantly different from that which would be expected from chance coincidences. Consequently, these systems and their z values are devoid of any physical significance.
