Abstract
We look for space-time correlations between 2233 gamma-bursts in the Batse Catalogs and 894 upward-going muons produced by neutrino interactions in th e rock below or inside MACRO. Considering a search cone of 10 degrees aroun d GRB directions and a time window of +/-200 s we find 0 events to be compa red to 0.035 expected background events due to atmospheric neutrinos. The c orresponding upper limit (90% c.l.) is 0.87 10(-9) cm(-2) upward-going muon s per average burst.
