A number of surveys for emission-line objects have been made in the Magellanic Clouds (see Westerlund, 1983). Hα-emission-line objects in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) have been identified mainly by Henize (1956) and Lindsay (1961). Since this pioneering work took place, no other extensive survey for this kind of object - such as the one by Bohannan and Epps (1974) in the Large Cloud - has been carried out in the SMC. Consequently the detection of Hα-emission-line objects in the SMC is still rather incomplete.
