The Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy is well known for its very high globular cluster specific frequency , S _ { N } \approx 26 .
Furthermore , while the field star metallicity distribution peaks at \mathrm { [ Fe / H ] } \approx - 1 , four of the five GCs have \mathrm { [ Fe / H ] } < -2 .
Only about 5 % of the field stars have such low metallicities .
Hence , a very large fraction of about 1/5-1/4 of the most metal-poor stars belong to the four most metal-poor GCs .
This implies that these clusters could , at most , have been a factor of \sim 4 - 5 more massive initially .
A second , even more extreme case may be the IKN dwarf galaxy where S _ { N } \approx 124 .
Although metallicities are not accurately known , the GCs account for about 13 % of the total V -band luminosity of IKN .
