  Measurements of the two-point angular correlation function w(\theta) for 407
short gamma-ray bursts collected in the Current BATSE Catalogue reveal a ~2
\sigma deviation from isotropy on angular scales \theta ~ 2-4 degrees. Such an
anisotropy is not observed in the distribution of long gamma-ray bursts and
hints to the presence of repeated bursts for up to ~13% of the sources under
exam. However, the available data cannot exclude the signal as due to the
presence of large-scale structure. Under this assumption, the amplitude of the
observed w(\theta) is compatible with those derived for different populations
of galaxies up to redshifts ~0.5, result that suggests short gamma-ray bursts
to be relatively local sources.
