Several pairs of observable properties of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are knownto be correlated. Many such correlations are straightforward predictions of the'cannonball' model of GRBs. We extend our previous discussions of the subjectto a wealth of new data, and to correlations between 'lag-time', 'variability'and 'minimum rise-time', with other observables. Schaefer's recent systematicanalysis of the observations of many GRBs of known red-shift gives us a goodand updated data-basis for our study.Comment: Added Appendix. Accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journa
