While previous studies of the X-ray binary 4U 0115+63 suggest it to be a steady, TeV gamma-ray emitter, with pulses at the 3.6-sec neutron-star period, the present analysis of data obtained on 60 nights over a 4-yr period with an imaging gamma-ray telescope has uncovered no indication of TeV signals. The derived upper limit of 1 {times} 10 to the {minus}11th/sq-cm sec, for gamma-rays of energy above 0.7 TeV, is noted to be significantly below the previously reported fluxes. 52 refs.
