We calculate the morphological segregation in rich galaxy clusters expected to arise from the possible evolution of S galaxies into S0 galaxies via the gas removal of their disks by ram-pressure stripping. The calculation is run on Monte Carlo simulations by following individual S galaxies in the potential well of a spherical anisotropic cluster making use of Gunn and Gott's (1972) stripping condition. The results are compared with both Dressler's (1980) local type/density relation and a global population-richness correlation inferred from real data in the present work. We find that, contrary to a rather extended opinion, this evolution scheme reproduces very well the observed morphological segregation between S and S0 galaxies in rich clusters provided that the initial populations are close to those i dense loose groups.
