Masses and tidal radii of star clusters in the LMC have been derived by means of star counts from U.K. Schmidt plates. Two groups of clusters according to their distance from the rotation centre of the LMC were measured. The tidal radii of the central clusters vary from 58 to 85 pc and those of the most distant clusters from 33 to 86 pc whereas masses were found to vary from 105 to 4×105M⊙ and from 104 to 2×105M⊙ respectively.
