Refinements in the source direction analysis of the observations of the unusual 1979 March 5 gamma-ray transient are presented. The final results from the interplantary gamma-ray burst network produce a 0.1 arcmin/sup 2/ error box. It is nested inside the initially determined 2 arcmin/sup 2/ source region of Evans et al. that identified the supernova remnant N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud as a possible source. This smaller source location is within both the optical and X-ray contours of N49 although not positioned at either contour center.
