Radial velocities of 20 stars members of young clusters and associations located in the inter-Cloud region within 2h < R.A. < 5h tend to be lower than the HI velocities in the same direction. The stellar velocities do not show a pronounced velocity gradiant as observed for the HI from the SMC to the LMC. This suggests that the stellar components belong to the SMC wing. Our photometry and spectroscopy support the view that one of the stars at 4h20m is a foreground HB star.
