Constraints on mass loss of globular clusters in dwarf galaxies
  The Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy is well known for its very high globular
cluster specific frequency, SN=26. Furthermore, while the field star
metallicity distribution peaks at [Fe/H]=-1, four of the five GCs have
[Fe/H]<-2. Only about 5 percent of the field stars have such low metallicities.
Hence, a very large fraction of about 1/5-1/4 of the most metal-poor stars
belong to the four most metal-poor GCs. This implies that these clusters could,
at most, have been a factor of 4-5 more massive initially. A second, even more
extreme case may be the IKN dwarf galaxy where SN=124. Although metallicities
are not accurately known, the GCs account for about 13 percent of the total
V-band luminosity of IKN.
