Abstract
We have made an complete Ha survey of the environment of the Wolf-Rayet (W-R) stars known in the both of Magellanic Clouds in the search for associated nebulosity. We have discovered a number of new ring nebulae, bring the total known to 16% of the number of W-R stars. There appears to be no clear association of ring nebulae with W -R subtype other than a relative scarcity of ring nebulae associated with later-type WNstars (WN 4.5-WN10).
