Abstract. We present the classification of 717 radio-continuum sources
from the Australia Telescope Compact Array Catalogue of the Small
Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These sources have been categorized into one of
three groups: supernova remnants (SNRs), HII regions and background
sources. In total, we name 71 sources as HII regions (or candidates) and 21
sources as SNRs (or candidates) within the SMC. Six sources are named as
either HII regions or background sources. Two sources are candidate radio
planetary nebulae and one additional source is coincident with an X-ray
binary, all also located within the SMC. We classify 616 objects as
background sources and present their statistics. 

Keywords: HII regions: supernova remnants, Magellanic Clouds, radio
