Abstract
It is convenient to describe the two Magellanic Clouds in terms of sub-systems (Westerlund, 1965). In the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) we have the bar, the disk, the halo and the wing and in the Large Cloud (LMC) the bar, the central system, the disk, and the halo. Tables I and II summarize the observational data for the various systems.
