The agreement between the positions given here and those of the 3U catalog is reasonably satisfactory except in the case of 3U 1728-16 and 3U 0614+09, for each of which the error box lies wholly outside, though close to, the 3U box. The agreement with the Copernicus occultation position for 3U 1758-25, while not wholly satisfactory, is reasonably good. No weight can be given to the agreement with the radio source position for this source, or the discrepancy for 3U 1758-20, both because the association with the radio sources is not on very certain grounds, and because the example of Sco X-1 shows that the radio source need not be coincident with the X-ray source. There is little evidence for the proposed association of 2U sources with bright stars.
