It is important to study some of the less bright and less rich clusters in the Magellanic Clouds in order to complete the picture of their populations as derived from studies of their giant clusters and associations. The region around NGC 419 in the Small Cloud is fairly rich in small- and medium-sized blue clusters and has, in addition, a photoelectric sequence (Arp 1958). Several clusters and groups of stars in this region have now been investigated (Westerlund, unpublished data). The resulting colour-magnitude arrays for four clusters in this region are presented in Figure 1 together with the arrays for three clusters in the wing. The clusters are identified by their numbers in Kron's (K) or Lindsay's (L) catalogues (Kron 1956; Lindsay 1958).
