Scientific paper

Deep UK Schmidt Telescope objective prism plates of the LMC have been searched for Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. These plates should reveal WR stars up to 2 mag fainter than the faintest known unreddened WN star. No new WR stars were found: there is therefore no extensive population of WR stars in the LMC in the magnitude range 17-19. A separate exercise revealed a new WN3 star (magnitude, 15.6) in the LMC, with a spectrum characterized by relatively weak emission lines.
