Abstract
PHYSICAL aggregations of stars may be broadly divided into “globular” and “irregular” clusters. Although, as might have been expected, the line of demarcation between the two classes is by no means sharply drawn, each has its own marked peculiarities. We shall limit our attention, in the present article, to the first kind.
