A colour magnitude diagram of a field in the south-west periphery of the SMC reveals a population similar to that obtained earlier in another field, with an age of 3 × 109 years. The present field is from the SMC centre, more than a degree more distant than the first one. The similarity in stellar content between the two emphasises the widespread nature of this population.
