Abstract: | Observations of the frequency with which globular clusters surround galaxies are reviewed. With a single exception the data do not favour the view that elliptical galaxies are formed from merging disc systems. Attention is also drawn to the unusually high frequency of globular clusters in central galaxies of rich clusters. |
