Mean globular cluster mass lang M GC rang vs. galaxy mass M dyn. Here, the mean GC mass is defined as lang M GC rang = M GCS/ N GC and the total mass in the globular cluster system is calculated as described in Section 3.3. Symbols for the three galaxy types (E, S0, S/Irr) are as in previous figures. The diagonal line gives the best-fit relation (Table 2).
