The stellar content of this stellar association, related to the supernova remnant N 157B = SNR 0538-691, was up to now unknown, except for three Wolf-Rayet stars and a few red supergiant candidates. A thorough study based on UBV photometry, spectra of 95 stars and nebular spectra will be described elsewhere (see also Schild et al. in these Proceedings).The outstanding properties of this region are :

A. the presence of a shell-shaped supernova, which dominates the thermal radio continuum. It is relatively faint in [OUI], strong in [Sil], [Fe 4658] and He II 4686. The expansion velocity reported by Chu and Kennicutt (1988) is 180 km/s. In addition, many extensions and filaments are found all over a wide area, and possibly there has been more than one supernova responsible.
