Some years ago the plates used for the extended Uppsala–Mount Stromlo Atlas of the Magellanic Clouds were searched for clusters in order to compare the optical extension of the Large Cloud with the one defined by the radio-astronomical observations of neutral hydrogen. Slightly over 150 clusters were identified and good agreement between the radio and optical boundaries was noted (Westerlund, unpublished data).
