Observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud obtained with the 10-channel ultraviolet photometer of the OAO-2 are presented. The aperture was circular and 10 arcmin in diameter whereas the wavelength coverage was from 4250 to 1430Å. A total of 50 fields has been measured. Using photometric criteria, the data fall into three groups which are also spatially separated. The different characteristics are easily understood in terms of population and reddening differences, but only if the previously reported MLMC extinction law” (Koornneef and Code 1981; Nandy et al. 1980) is adopted.
