This study is part of a large programme aimed at examining the dependence of the mass function on environment and time. We have surveyed 1.6 square degrees in the cluster, in the I and z filters, with the CFH12K camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii 3.6-m telescope down to completeness and detection limits in both filters of 22.0 and 24.0mag, respectively. Based on their location in the optical (I-z,I) colour-magnitude diagram, we have extracted new cluster member candidates in Collinder 359 spanning 1.3-0.03M, assuming an age of 60Myr and a distance of 450pc for the cluster. We have used the 2MASS database as well as our own near-infrared photometry to examine the membership status of the optically-selected cluster candidates. Comparison of the location of the most massive members in Collinder 359 in a (B-V,V) diagram with theoretical isochrones suggests that Collinder 359 is older than Alpha Per but younger than the Pleiades. We discuss the possible relationship between Collinder 359 and IC 4665 as both clusters harbour similar parameters, including proper motion, distance, and age. Description: Catalogue of cluster member candidates in Collinder 359, assuming a distance of 450pc and an age of 60Myr for the cluster. The total number of sources is 506. The observations were conducted in the I and z filters with the CFH12K wide-camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in June 2002. Five CFH12K fields (A to E) were observed covering an area of 1.6 square degree in the cluster. The table provides the coordinates (in J2000), the I and z magnitudes from the optical survey as well as the infrared magnitudes from 2MASS when available of all possible cluster members. The CFH12K field-of-view and the identification number of each source is given as well.
