6 BOHLIN, ON THE GALACTIC SYSTEM WITH REGARD TO ITS STRUCTURE. 
uncertain.' After such a classification of the catalogue-material of Globular Clusters, 
the representation of these objects in Plate 1 may prove to be sufficiently reliable 
for discussion of the situation of these objects in the Sidereal System. 
The question how to explain that the Globular Clusters are thus thrown to- 
gether to one side of the Galactic Cirele, the centre of the whole conglomerate coin- 
ciding nearly with a point of that circle, can hardly, as it seems, be answered in any 
other way than by assuming that 
The Globular Clusters System is really situated in the Centre of the Galactic System. 
In fact, if this is supposed, one needs only to place the sun with the plane- 
tary system somewhat beyond the boundary of the Globular Clusters System in a 
direction opposite to the apparent place of the centre of the Clusters on the celestial 
sphere in order to obtain the aspect actually exhibited by the distribution of the 
Globular Clusters on the heavens.
