Notes.Surface densities are calculated for a distance of 1.7 kpc.

(a)

Identification less certain;

(b)

coinciding with VVV CL164 of Lima et al. (2014), possibly a much older cluster unrelated with NGC 6357;

(c)

the estimated average field star surface density (by the surface area) has been subtracted.
