The catalogue contains coordinate and diameter measurements of 1762 clusters in a 25 deg x 25 deg area of sky centered on the LMC, but excluding the very crowded 3.5 square deg region around the Bar. The distribution of these clusters appears as two superimposed elliptical systems. The higher density inner system extends over about 8 deg; the lower density outer system can be represented by 13 deg X 10 deg disc inclined at 42 deg to the line of sight. There are suggestions of two weak "arms" in the latter.
