From radio observations it has been known for some time that a relatively large fraction of the total mass of the Magellanic Clouds is in the form of atomic Hydrogen. In contrast, optical photometry shows that both galaxies suffer rather little obscuration by dust, except in regions where the stellar population indicates recent star formation. However, the possibilities of discussing gas-to-dust ratios have been limited by the poor spatial resolution of the 21 cm HI-observations and uncertainties with respect to the relative location of the various components (gas, dust and stars).
