Abstract

Classification problems of globular star clusters in the Galaxy have been briefly discussed. The values of the velocity anisotropy parameter are calculated for 36 globular clusters, by using relatively new data for their apparent surface density. Those values are grouped into three classes. The correlation of the examined parameter with other parameters of globular clusters is analyzed.
