Abstract
A ''repeater statistic'' (derived from the two-point angular correlati on function and accounting for location errors) is used to identify co nstraints on the rate of burst repetition from the BATSE 1B catalog. B ecause of the anisotropic sky exposure, repeating sources should creat e additional effects in the large-scale distribution of close burst pa irs.
