viations and symbols of Hersohel, moreover a similar description of each duster 

 as shown on the Harvard photographs. In addition to this he gives most valuable 

 particulars regarding the diameters of the clusters, the estimated number of stars 

 shown on the photographs and the estimated magnitude of the stars. Finally he 

 gives also the number of variables found in those clusters which have been exa- 

 mined in this respect. 



The number of thus registered clusters designated as globulars are in the 

 following way distributed on the 48 equatorial squares.

There are only 17 such objects on the northern sky against 96 south of the 

 equator. The most favoured squares are jD^, -Eg and F^. 



Of the 109 globular clusters in Dreyer's catalogues (all of them are to be 

 found in the N. G. C) six have not been found in the survey made by Bailey 

 with the 24-inch Bruce telescope of Harvard, 16 belong to the large Magellanic 

 cloud, 2 to the small Magellanic cloud and regarding 13 we may conclude from the 

 description of Bailey that they probably may not be considered as globular clusters. 

 To the remaining 72 Bailey adds 4 objects not called globular in the N. G. C. 

 but considered by Bailey as »more or less globular in form». 



The apparent distribution of these 76 globular objects on the galactic squares 

 is the following.
