In order to quantitatively investigate dynamical effects of HII regions on star formation, observations in 13CO (J = 1 - 0) have been made toward the 23 southern HII regions. Ninety-five molecular clouds were identified, and 57 of them were found to be associated with 204 protostellar IRAS sources. More numerous and massive stars are found to be formed on the side facing to the HII regions than that away from the HII regions. This suggests the dynamical effects of the HII regions, such as compression of the molecular gas by the expanding ionized/shock fronts.
