Supplementary Notes and References

V1-5:    Membership status, magnitudes and amplitudes listed for 
         V1-5 are from Lloyd Evans & Menzies (1977, MNRAS 178, 163)

         For V4-5, periods and variability types are from Whitelock 
         (1986, MNRAS 219, 525). 

V6:      The data listed for V6 are from Hesser (1980, IBVS  1758)
         We conclude this is a field star because of its extreme
         brightness and because the ID chart of Hartwick & Hesser 
         indicates that it is beyond the tidal radius listed in 
         Bill Harris's (1996) catalog.

Discovery of the variable stars in NGC 6352:

   V1-3 = FL 1, 4, 8 
     Fourcade & Laborde, Atlas y Catalogo, Cordoba (1966) with x,y
       positions and ID chart
     Sawyer Hogg in her 3rd catalog stated that FL 2, 3, 5, 6,
             7, 9-12 are considered field stars.
