Scientific paper

It is pointed out that the X-ray source, LMC X-5, detected by Markert and Clark (1975) in the Large Magellanic Cloud is in the close proximity of the radio sources MC32 and MC33. Optically MC32/33 is identified with the H II region N44 reported by Henize (1956). LMC X-5 is probably a highly variable X-ray source as evidenced by the failure to detect it with Uhuru. This would imply that the X rays are emitted by a compact object (such as a neutron star) which might be expected in association with a supernova remnant.
