Supplementary Notes 

A CM diagram by Cohen et al. (2014) shows a well populated blue HB with 
an extended tail and a centrally concentrated blue straggler population.
The 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue lists [Fe/H] = -1.40. 

In the above table, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).  The 
data for V1 are from the discovery paper by Hazen (1993).

Notes on individual stars

V2: This variable was also recovered in the OGLE III survey of
    RR Lyrae Star in the Galactic Bulge (Soszynski et al. 2011) where 
    it is listed as OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-13867. The period listed in the 
    above table is from the OGLE IV study (Soszynski et al 2014).  The 
    remaining data are from Hazen (1993).
    According to Hazen, the star's membership status is uncertain. 
    At r ~ 2.7 arcminutes from the cluster centre, it is beyond the
    tidal radius which is ~ 2.15 arcminutes according to the 2010 update
    to the Harris (1996) catalogue.

Discovery of the variable stars in NGC 6544:

  V1-2 
     Hazen (1993) with x,y coordinates, 1950 RA & dec, and an ID chart
     She also identified two field variables: F1 and F2. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------
  PSR:  According to Paulo Freire's website, there are 2 millisecond 
        pulsars in NGC 6544. (www.naic.edu/~pfreire/GCpsr.html)
