  We have obtained spectra for 103 published globular cluster candidates in the
Sculptor Group galaxies NGC 253 and NGC 55. On the basis of radial velocities
and digitized plate images, 14 globular clusters are identified in NGC 253 and
one probable globular cluster is identified in NGC 55. The majority of the
objects in the sample appear to be background galaxies. We have obtained and
analysed COSMOS plate scans of NGC 253 and NGC 55 and use these along with the
spectroscopically identified clusters to define new samples of globular cluster
candidates in the two galaxies which should have reduced contamination.
