X-rays from the vicinities of both Magellanic Clouds were observed with a spatial resolution of 10 on 1970 September 24. Each Cloud appears as an extended source. The center of X-ray emission is displaced from the region of maximum optical emission. The X-ray spectrum of the Large Cloud is much softer than that of the Small Cloud. The data are more easily interpreted as due to a few strong sources rather than many unresolved weak sources. It is possible that the 30 Doradus nebula is one of these strong sources.
