An approximate numerical calculation for an evolving 100,000-star cluster simulates the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) populations of two Magellanic Cloud globular clusters. Several laws of mass loss by AGB stars and various initial heavy-element abundances and cluster ages are considered. In the H-R diagram the early-AGB stars differ in both luminosity and Teff from AGB stars passing through the helium shell thermal-flash stage. The numbers of M- and C-type stars in this second phase are predicted for model clusters with different parameters. 18 references.
