- 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.

- We have also implicitly assumed that the ratio between
the lowest mass cluster and the highest mass cluster is
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.
