We investigate the number of gamma-ray bursts in two particular strips
of the sky using the data in 3B catalog of Burst and Transient Source
Experiment (BATSE). One stripe is related to the plane in which the i
ntergalactic globular clusters (R > 25kpc) and Galactic satellite gala
xies (45kpc < R < 280kpc) concentrate, the other is concerned to nearb
y galaxies (1Mpc < R < 11Mpc). We find that the density of GRBs in the
se two strips is higher than that in other parts of the sky with signi
ficance 2.8 and 1.9 sigma respectively. We also compare the peak flux
distribution of GRBs in these two stripes with that in other parts of
the sky, and find no difference in the former stripe but a difference
in the latter with a significant level alpha = 0.05. This is consisten
t with the distance scales of these two planes. So it suggests that at
least a substantial fraction of GRBs may be related to those objects
in these two planes and thus originate within 11Mpc.
