A search for faint stars (to in B) in a bright part of the Magellanic Stream designated MSI by Mathewson (1976), carried out from automatic scans of UKST photographs by means of the COSMOS machine gives a negative result as far as the main HI cloud is concerned, but reveals a small surplus of images in a patch 1 degree away from the main HI concentration.
