Scientific paper

Extinction maps and parameters deduced from star counts on nine southern dark clouds are presented. The clouds are selected on the basis of their appearance on the ESO(B) plates, having large opacities and well-defined contours, and some are sites of star formation. Maps of the distribution of visual extinction are presented for each cloud, and the masses contained within different extinction contour levels are estimated. The density structure of the clouds and the star formation rate within them are discussed.
