Abstract
We present further results of fully-sampled observations in the J=1--> 0 and J=2-->1 rotational transitions of (CO)-C-12 and (CO)-C-13, Obtai ned with the SEST telescope at 43 '' or 22 '' resolution, toward the S mall Magellanic Cloud. These observations concern six molecular clouds with a variety of physical conditions. Maps in the (CO)-C-12(1-->0), (CO)-C-12(2-->1), and in some cases of (CO)-C-13(1-->0) lines are pres ented, as well as profiles of the four lines at the peak positions con volved to the same angular resolution of 43 ''. The line ratio results are interpreted in Paper TV of this series (Lequeux et al. 1994).
