Description

The author concludes that: (1) The ages of the well observed globular clusters (6 < R < 12 kpc) are in the range 10 < t9 < 15 Gyrs (+-2 Gyrs), with the most metal poor clusters being the oldest. (2) The ages of the oldest open clusters are 6-7 Gyrs. They appear to have metal contents as low as the most metal-rich among globular clusters. (Auth.)
