Abstract
The motions of comets and neutron stars have been integrated over five billion years in the Galactic potential to determine a gamma-ray burs t distribution, presuming that bursts are the result of interactions b etween these two families of objects. The comets originate in two dist inct populations - one from ejection by stars in the Galactic disk, an d the other from ejection by stars in globular clusters. No choice of the free parameters resulted in agreement with both the isotropy data and the log(N > F)-Iog(F) data.
