Mass-to-luminosity ratios of systems of galaxies as derived by different authors have a large scatter from ~ 10 to ~ 200. the observational data used by different authors differ only slightly, so the differences should lie in the treatment of the data. We have found that in most cases < M/L > differences can be explained in the following ways.
