Abstract
THE Magellanic Clouds are the nearest extragalactic systems and differ considerably in structure and stellar content from our own galaxy. The chemical compositions of individual objects in the clouds are consequently of great interest. So far some gaseous nebulæ have been examined by Aller and Faulkner1 and found to differ but slightly from corresponding galactic nebulæ, but stars have so far been treated by rather general arguments and none has yet been analysed in detail.
