Description: A correlation has been discovered between the Venera spacecraft locations and the gamma-ray burst positions reported in the KONUS catalog (Mazets et al., 1981a). The reason for the correlation is not clear, but it could be due to spatial selection effects and/or large localization errors for weak or soft bursts. Whatever the cause, it seems likely that this systematic bias might significantly affect catalog results pertaining to gamma burst locations, intensity distributions, and spectra. For example, it can explain why the KONUS galactic latitude distribution is peaked significantly south of the galactic equator. Apparent discrepanices between the KONUS and Los Alamos gamma burst data bases are noted.
