The differences in observational parameters of the RR Lyrae variables and horizontal branch stars of globular clusters and other population II systems are considered. A discontinuous behaviour of some parameters is outlined. The Oosterhoff dichotomy and the HB morphology are discussed with regard to a conjecture of mass loss in the pre-HB phase.
