Column 1: galaxy name; Cols. 2--8: the present number of GCs ($N $),
its initial value ($N_{\rm i}$), the number of GCs lost ($N_{\rm l}$),
the percentage of GCs  lost and the estimated relative error on $N_{\rm l}$  ($\epsilon_{\rm l}$,
see Appendix A), the estimate of the initial mass of both the entire 
GCS ($M_{\rm i}$) and the mass lost by each GCS ($M_{\rm l}$). $M_{\rm i}$ and $M_{\rm l}$ are in solar  masses.
