The superior burst location capability of the COMPTEL instrument aboard
the {\em Compton\/} Gamma-Ray Observatory allows us to study the small-scale 
angular distribution of burst sources with good sensitivity even though
the number of burst detections is small.  We accumulate four years (April 
1991 -- April 1995) of observations to form a catalog of 28 burst locations 
whose mean accuracy is $\sim$1{\hbox{$^\circ$}}.  We find that the COMPTEL 
bursts are consistent with an isotropic distribution of sources, yet the 
spatial coincidence of two of the bursts within COMPTEL's angular resolution 
indicates the possibility of repetition.  This possibility is studied using 
the two-point angular correlation function and the nearest neighbor statistic.
Model dependent upper limits on the fraction of repeating sources are derived.
