Notes: (1) Limiting ${ K}{_{\rm s}}$ magnitude; (2) differential counts between $K_{\rm s}^{\rm lim} - 0.5$ and $K_{\rm s}^{\rm lim}$; (3) cumulative number arcmin-2 of galaxies brighter than limiting $K_{\rm s}^{\rm lim}$, Poisson error is indicated; (4) same as (3) from blank field survey by Scodeggio & Silva (2000); (5) number of objects brighter than $K_{\rm s}^{\rm lim}$ with $I - K_{\rm s} > 4$; (6) same as (5) for $I - K_{\rm s} > 5$ (see Sect. 4.2).
