Description:
    A survey of carbon stars in the outer parts of the Small Magellanic
    Cloud has been completed; the candidate objects were identified by
    inspecting UK Schmidt Telescope objective-prism plates which cover a
    total area of ~220 sq deg on the sky, including the inter-Cloud
    region. Co-ordinates are given for 1185 newly identified carbon stars.
