Using the peak aligned averaging method we analyze a subset of BATSE gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with positions within the fields of view of the COMPTEL and EGRET instruments. We consider GRBs detected by the two telescopes as well as those individually undetected. With this averaging method we make a collective detection of GRBs that were undetected individually at high energies. The average temporal and spectral properties of bursts above 1 MeV are determined.
