After the systematic survey carried out by Azzopardi and Breysacher (1979, 1980) at La Silla, Chile, with the 40-cm Objective Prism Astrograph, the census of the Wolf-Rayet population (101 stars) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) can probably be considered as quite complete except, perhaps, for stars located in the core of dense HII regions. The catalogue by Breysacher (1981) includes 100 stars to which one has to add one star of the WN type discovered by Sanduleak (private communication) outside of the survey limits.
