... outliers[*]
As noted in Miller et al. (1997) and Goudfrooij et al. (2001a,b) both NGC 7252 and NGC 1316 have large populations of luminous star clusters which appear to be coeval with the merger of the host galaxies.

... system[*]
We have also implicitly assumed that the ratio between the lowest mass cluster and the highest mass cluster is $\ll$0.001.

... M82F[*]
M82-F, located in Fig. 5 at log (age) = 7.8, may be a deviant point in the diagram due to uncertainties in its age and extinction. Further studies to pin down the exact values would be desirable. Additionally, we note that its elliptical shape, crowded environment, and peculiar radial velocity suggest that the cluster may have been gravitationally influenced by its surroundings, and hence may not be in virial equilibrium.
