We suggest that the majority of the "young", so--called "second parameter"globular clusters (SPGCs) have originated in the outer Galactic halo due to aprocess other than a tidal disruption of the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies.Basic observational evidence regarding both the dSphs and the SPGCs, coupledwith the latest data about a rather large relative number of such clustersamong globulars in M33 and their low portion in M31, seems to be consistentwith the suspected process. It might have taken place within the system of themost massive galaxies of the Local Group (LG) at the earliest stages of theirformation and evolution. We argue that the origin and basic characteristics ofthe SPGCs can naturally be explained as a result of mass outflow from M31,during and due to formation of its Pop. II stars, and subsequent accretion ofgas onto its massive companions, the Galaxy and M33. An amount of the gasaccreted onto the Milky Way is expected to have been quite enough for theformation in the outer Galactic halo not only of the clusters underconsideration but also a number of those dSph galaxies which are as young asthe SPGCs. A less significant, but notable mass transfer from the starburstingprotoGalaxy to the massive members of the LG might have occurred, too.Comment: 7 pages, no figures, accepted for publication in A&
