A complete census of embedded stellar population can be made by exploring in the infrared large areas of the sky in which giant molecular clouds extend. Very recently, thanks to the of large format IR array detectors, studies of young stellar population in GMCs, have been undertaken by different authors (i.e., Lada et al. 1991) but all these observations were limited to relatively small regions of the whole GMCs, the DENIS project (Epchtein, this volume, p. 106) surveys the south hemisphere at I, J and Ks bands, including most of these clouds.
