A survey for A-F type supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud has been carried out using UV objective prism plates. 890 objects were detected and their spectral types, luminosity classes, magnitudes, and precise positions determined. The survey is practically complete to m_pg_=12.5 and extends for certain types of stars to m_pg_=14. It is found that the spatial distribution of the A-F supergiants is not correlated with the distribution of the gas and OB stars of the cloud. This is evidence in support of the tentative identification by Stock and Wroblewski of early-type galactic supergiants well off the plane. Several other implications of this result are also discussed.
