7 Conclusions

The comparison of Parkes radio surveys with the IRAS IR surveys showed 130 and 38 sources in common to the LMC and SMC respectively. Most of these sources ($\sim$90%) are intrinsic to the MCs as Hii regions and SNRs. Some 40 new sources in the LMC and 10 sources in the SMC are classified on this basis as Hii region candidates. A flux density comparison of the sources in common for the radio and IR surveys shows very good correlation for the sources intrinsic to the MCs.
