A B-plate taken with the 2-m Ritchey-Chretien telescope of the Rozhen Observatory in Bulgaria has been processed by photographic isodensitometry to yield the ellipticity epsilon and major-axis position angle of five globular clusters in the Andromeda Nebula. These preliminary results suggest that the clusters in M31 have about the same flattening (epsilon = 0.05-0.16) as those in the Galaxy. Diameters estimated from the outer isodent apparently include the cluster coronae.
