I suggest that the bulk of the “young”, second-parameter globular clusters (SPGCs) observed in the outer halo of our Galaxy and recently found in the other massive spiral of the Local Group (LG), M33, may have originated due to mass outflow from M31 and subsequent accretion of gas on the Galaxy and M33 in the early epoch.
