Abstract
The analysis by Burbidge and co-workers on the proximity of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) to bright galaxies is considered within the theory of the generalized gravitational potential. It is shown that in this theory the red-shift data are consistent with a connection hypothesis for three of the four QSO-galaxy systems considered in the statistical analysis.
