The sparse young cluster embedded in and illuminating NGC 5367 in the head of Cometary Globule 12 is shown to suffer about 1 magnitude of visual extinction in the cloud and to be about 630 pc away. Infrared photometry and scanner spectroscopy of the two most luminous members, comprising the double h 4636, indicate that one component is surrounded by a circumstellar shell producing Balmer line emission and thermal reradiation by grains. The proposed identification of NGC 5367 with the transient X-ray source A1353-40 is not favored. It is suggested that NGC 5367 lies on an H I loop and that star formation in it was induced by a supernova explosion near galactic longitude 320 deg, latitude 30 deg, about 10 million years ago.
