Abstract
The first low-resolution survey of the neutral hydrogen in the Clouds (Kerr et al., 1954) showed the existence of large Hi envelopes around both Clouds and an unexpectedly large gas content for the Small Cloud. The second survey (Hindman et al., 1963) was also carried out with a small telescope but a better receiver was used; this study confirmed the general features of the distribution and demonstrated that a bridge of gas extended right across between the Clouds (Figure 1).
