The spatial distribution of globular clusters in M 31 has been analyzed using the catalogues of Sargent et al. (1977) and Crampton et al. (1985). It is concluded that the globular clusters within the distance of 54′ from the center of M 31 show an elliptical distribution aligned to the major axis of the disk. This is similar to the distribution of metal-rich clusters in our galaxy.
