Recent high resolution CO images of the Galactic center (GC) molecular clouds reveal many arc and/or shell structures (Oka et al. 1997). A considerable fraction of them may most probably be formed by an interaction between supernova remnants (SNRs) and molecular clouds. Studies of such cases in less confused areas are needed to clarify this picture. The SNR W44 is a good place for examining the SNR induced shell formation scenario.
