Abstract

A low resolution (202) survey of the neutral hydrogen in the Magellanic Clouds has produced two important additions to our knowledge of the system. (1) A bridge of gas between the Small and Large Cloud has been mapped. (2) The Small Cloud profiles show double peaks over a wide area, suggesting the possibility of two substantially separate masses of gas.
