  The velocity ellipsoid for 38 globular clusters with [Fe/H] <= -1.0 is
derived and shown to be significantly anisotropic with major axis directed
towards low Galactic latitude. Principal axes of the spatial distribution of
different groups of clusters are derived and compared with the velocity
ellipsoid. The metal poor cluster spatial distribution is significantly
flattened along an axis which coincides within the uncertainties with the major
axis of the velocity ellipsoid. Given the observed steep age-metallicity
relation for metal poor clusters, one speculative interpretation of the data is
that an initially flattened filament underwent a relatively rapid initial
transverse collapse forming satellite galaxies and metal poor globular clusters
while the protogalaxy collapsed and assembled more slowly along the filament
acquiring and/or redistributing angular momentum in the process.
