Scientific paper

A list of 49 star-formation regions is presented which contains information about the physical relation of star-formation regions to O and T associations, clusters, H II regions, dark clouds, and IR and maser sources. Concepts pertaining to the population categories of star-formation regions and the evolutionary classification of such regions are clarified by reviewing observational data on objects located in these regions. The masses of individual star-formation regions are estimated to be in the range from 1000-10,000 to 1 million solar masses. A discrepancy between the initial mass of a molecular cloud and the final mass of the stars formed in a star-formation region is discussed.
