Scientific paper

The authors present a catalog of 156 clusters outside the boundaries of the Hodge and Wright (1967) LMC atlas. The catalog contains coordinates accurate to 1 - 2 arcsec, offsets from the edge of the appropriate SCR J plates, cross references to previos identifications, and finding charts of the brighter clusters. As defined by the clusters, the authors find the Hodge and Wright atlas to represent the extent of the LMC to the west, and reasonably well to the east. To the north and the south, the cluster system extends substantially beyond the boundaries of the atlas. The southern clusters delineate a portion of the 'spiral arm' noted by de Vaucouleurs (1955).
