We report on observations of the 1978, November 19 Gamma-Ray Burst source,performed with the ROSAT X-ray HRI experiment. Two sources were detected, oneof which is possibly variable. The latter source is identical to the sourcediscovered in 1981 by the EINSTEIN satellite, and recently detected by ASCA.The precise localization of these sources is given, and our data are comparedwith optical, radio and previous X-ray data.
