  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 intergalactic globular
clusters (R>25kpc) and Galactic satellite galaxies (45kpc<R<280kpc)
concentrate, the other is concerned to nearby galaxies (1Mpc<R<11Mpc). We find
that the density of GRBs in these two strips is higher than that in other parts
of the sky with significance 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 consistent 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 11 Mpc.
