Abstract:
   A list of 1679 blue stars located in a region of the southern sky between 
   the Magellanic Clouds is presented. Equatorial coordinates and photographic
   V and B - V are given for stars brighter than V = 18.5. The instrumental 
   magnitudes obtained from UKST IIIa-J and IIIa-F plates are calibrated with 
   nearly 200 stars with CCD B and V observations. This list can be used for 
   follow-up identification, spatial distribution, and other studies of young 
   OB stars belonging to the Magellanic Clouds.
