Description:
    This catalog compiled by William E. Harris contains basic parameters
    on distances, velocities, metallicities, luminosities, colors, and
    dynamical parameters for 147 objects regarded as globular clusters in
    the Milky Way galaxy. A complete list of source references is given in
    the companion file "sources".

    The original files are also accessible through WorldWideWeb, at URL
    http://www.physics.mcmaster.ca/Globular.html

    This version corresponds to revision: May 15, 1997,
      and supersedes the previous version (Catalog <VII/195>).

Important Notice:
    Please acknowledge the use of this catalog in any published work you
    derive from it. I would also greatly appreciate receiving any new
    information, in published or preprint form, which would help me keep
    the list up to date.
