Data are presented on the temporal structure, fluxes, energy spectra and coordinates of the sources of gamma-ray bursts detected in the KONUS experiment on the Venera 11 and Venera 12 space probes in the period from September 1978 to May 1979. The statistical distributions of gamma bursts in duration, intensity, and peak power, as well as the distribution of the burst sources over the celestial sphere presented, are based on the updated KONUS information obtained up to February 1980. Observational data are then presented on the gamma-burst studies in the KONUS experiment for the period from the end of May to October 1979. Also given are the burst time profiles, energy spectra, and source localization data. The final part of the paper deals with data gathered from November 1979 to the beginning of February 1980. The principal scientific results are reviewed.
