Several spectra have been obtained in the 3600–10000 Å range, for the HII regions N11A and N88A in the LMC and SMC, respectively. The spectral type of their exciting star was determined and from the emission-line intensities we have derived the gas electron density and temperature, and computed the chemical abundances of He, O, N, Ne, S, and Ar. These abundances are then compared with the ones found for other HII regions in the Magellanic Clouds.
