Zusammenfassung:	The study of arrival directions of extensive air showers (EASs) on the EAS MSU array and EAS-1000 prototype array revealed a large number of regions of excessive flux of EASs generated by cosmic rays with PeV energies. A comparative analysis of the excessive flux regions revealed in two experimental data sets is performed, the probabilities of appearance of the found regions are estimated, and the correlation between the regions of location and coordinates of possible astrophysical sources of cosmic rays in the energy range under study is discussed.
