The Large Magellanic Cloud has been surveyed on ultra-low dispersion (10,000 Å mm−1) plates taken with the 102 centimeter reflector at Kavalur. Many new red and blue stars were found. The LMC Bar was found to have a strong component of red stars and a very weak component of faint 0B stars. In general the regions other than the bar contain very luminous 0B stars, faint 0B stars and a few very red stars. The 30 Doradus complex is rich in luminous red and blue stars.
