Supplementary Notes 

UKS 1 is a faint globular cluster in the bulge.  
Origlia et al. (2005) derived [Fe/H] = -0.78  from near-infrared 
photometry and high resolution spectroscopy.
Using HST/NICMOS and NTT/SOFI infrared photometry, Ortolani et al. (2007) 
derived a distance that indicated that UKS1 is beyond the Galactic
centre.

UKS2 = BH 66 = ESO 166-SC11 (RA = 09:25.3, Dec = -54:53, J2000) was 
long thought to be a globular cluster.  However, Bica et al. (2000) 
showed that UKS 2 is an open cluster with age comparable to that of 
the Hyades.
