Up to now 4 WR stars were known in the SMC (Breysacher and Westerlund, 1978) and 76 in the LMC (Fehrenbach et al., 1976). Because no systematic search for WR stars in the SMC had ever been made, a survey was carried out with the ESO Objective Prism Astrograph which resulted in the identification of 4 new WR stars of the WN type, afterwards confirmed by slit spectroscopy. In the LMC, two fields were also observed and 13 new faint WR stars detected. The results presented here mainly concern the SMC WR stars.
