Scientific paper

The spectroscopic metallicity index (delta S) is determined for RR Lyrae stars in 13 globular clusters, and Fe/H values are obtained for 22 globular clusters. It is shown that: (1) published Ca and Fe abundances for red giants in globular clusters are consistent with a one-to-one relationship between Ca/H and Fe/H; (2) several globular clusters have delta S Fe abundances significantly higher than Fe/H = -1.2; (3) the second parameter phenomenon may be more widespread among the metal-rich globular clusters of the inner galactic halo than has been hitherto believed; and (4) there are no clear-cut examples in which giant-branch morphology does not correlate with Fe/H.
