An attempt is made to obtain positive evidence for the presence of a residual rota- tion of the system of globular clusters. For this the radial velocities of the globular clus- ters are used. The solar velocity relative to different groups of clusters is determined.
The run of the numbers is snch as to indicate that a residual rotation to the amount of + 50 Km/sec may be present, but the evidence is not conclusive.
