Abstract
It is pointed out that the positional distribution of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) shows proximity and clustering around the ecliptic. Their dispersion measure (DM) has a weak (80 percent significance level) correlation with the magnitude of the ecliptic latitude. The so called Perytons, however, show no significant proximity to any one of the three astronomical planes, viz celestial, ecliptic or galactic, although they are closer to the galactic plane.
