Abstract

There is spectroscopic evidence for initial abundance inhomogeneities from star to star within M13 and M22. Among three stars in M13, there is an order-of-magnitude range in the sodium-to-iron ratio, which lies well beyond all known random and systematic errors; details will be given in a paper in preparation. In M22, the spread discussed below in logarithmic iron-to-hydrogen ratios, [Fe/H], is 0.6 dex, which is far larger than that found here for any other globular cluster.
