Abstract
New optical and infrared observations ofseveral stars in the distant globular cluster Pal 12 show that they have CO strengths and heavy element abundances only slightly less than in M71, one of the more metal-rich globular clusters. Pal 12 thus has a metal abundance near the high end of the range over which globular clusters exist and lies in the outer galactic halo. Its red horizontal branch is not anomalous in view of the abundance we have found.
