The present communication reports some results of observations made at Asiago on three faint globular clusters discovered on Palomar Sky Survey plates (Abell 1955).

Palomar 2 (4h43.m1, + 31 °23’, 1950; l= 170°, b= -9°). This cluster was studied some years ago by McCarthy and Treanor (1964) on infrared plates taken with the Schmidt telescope of the Vatican Observatory. After an extensive discussion the authors concluded that the object was either a peculiar globular cluster at an estimated distance of 63 kpc or an old galactic cluster at a distance of the order of 16 kpc.
