We present further
results of fully-sampled observations in the and
rotational
transitions of
and
, obtained with the SEST telescope at
43″ or 22″ resolution, toward the Small Magellanic Cloud.
These observations concern six molecular
clouds with a variety of physical conditions. Maps in the
,
and in some cases of
lines are presented, as well as
profiles of the four lines at the peak positions convolved to the same angular
resolution of
. The line ratio results are interpreted in Paper IV of this
series (Lequeux et al. 1994).
