Scientific paper

A hypothesis is advanced that the X-ray sources of the galactic bulge and those in globular clusters are of the same type. This is supported by the similarity of the respective stellar populations and the observed incidence of luminous sources. Evolutionary considerations suggest that it is the high stellar density that favors X-ray source formation in those regions. If the correspondence is correct, there must be about 100 additional weak sources in the bulge which have so far eluded detection because of source confusion.
