Abstract

A program to observe millimetre-wave molecular transitions in a number of southern-sky molecular clouds is under way. Molecular clouds in both the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds are included in the sample. The aim of the program is to build a body of observational data which can be used to derive molecular abundances in southern-sky molecular clouds.
