Photometric metal abundances of individual red giants in eight extremely distant halo globular clusters and the Draco and Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxies have been obtained using the Washington broad-band system, C, M, T1, T2 (Canterna 1976). Observations were made at the KPNO 2.1-m and CTIO 1.5-m telescopes. In Table I we list for each system the mean value of [Fe/H], the number of stars observed in each system, n, the Galactocentric distance, RGC, the intrinsic color of the giant branch at the level of the horizontal branch (HB), (B-V)o,g, and the fraction of HB stars bluer than the RR Lyrae gap, fB. Sources for unpublished color-magnitude diagram (CMD) data are: Pal 11 (Canterna and Schommer), Pal 12 (Canterna and Harris), and Ursa Minor (Schommer, Olszewski and Kunkel).
