Muons recorded by the IMB proton decay detector during the radio outburst from Cygnus X-3 in January 1991 are studied. Data are examined for both aperiodic excesses and those phase modulated at the x-ray period of Cygnus X-3. No correlation between the muon data and Cygnus X-3 is found. Further, this observation provides flux limits of [Phi][sub 90%] C.L.[le]2[times]10[sup [minus]10] [mu] cm[sup [minus]2]s[sup [minus]1] at 1570 meters of water equivalent on the 20th and 23rd, in contrast with other reported signals.
