Scientific paper

Integrated UBV photometry, including some new data, is given for 61 clusters in the SMC and for 147 clusters in the LMC. These observations are used to set up a rough age classification system for the clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. Age classifications are given for 50 SMC and 141 LMC clusters. In both Clouds striking differences are found between the distributions of clusters of differing ages. In the SMC young clusters are concentrated in or near the Bar, whereas old clusters avoid it. Very young LMC clusters are strongly concentrated in Shapley's Constellations. The centroid of the system of old LMC cl
