This paper deals with the preservation of strong forms of mixing of point processes under the clustering operation. Strong, ϕ -, and *-mixing possess an increasing degree of uniformity of their asymptotic independence, and this turns out to be a significant factor in their preservation. In particular, it is indicated that ϕ-mixing may be maintained only under very stringent conditions (bounded clusters), whereas strong mixing is maintained under considerably milder conditions.
