We obtain the mass distribution and the age distribution of the young stars associated with Chamaeleon I and Rho Ophiuchi, two nearby sites of star formation. Our method consists in determining the temperature and the luminosity of each object in order to locate it on the HR diagram, and then comparing the position on the HR diagram with the evolutionary tracks and isochrones presented by Cohen and Kuhi (1979). The star-formation process is found to have started more recently in ρ Oph than in Cham I.
