. Authors: A.A. Suchkov , V.A. Marakov . Journal: Pis'ma Astron. Zh., 1976, v.2, p.38-385. Metallisity function of globular clusters in the Galaxy is constructed. It is found to have three "humps". This leads to a conclusion that there were three metal enrichment outbursts during the period of globular cluster formation. The constraints on the nature of metal sourses and on the early evolution of Galaxy are considered.
