A. ; Cohen, J. G. Abstract Visual spectrophotometry and new broad-band photometric data obtained for 48 late-type giants in clusters in the MC are combined with published data to predict various evolutionary schemes for cool, luminous, carbon and oxygen rich stars. The MC cluster C stars have a range in spectral energy distributions quite similar to that of MC field C stars, and the LMC field contains M giants, which are redder and more luminous than any so far found in LMC or SMC clusters. This is attributed to the presence in the LMC field of a significant population of stars that are younger and/or more metal rich than the stars in the cluster sample. The locations of the NGC 1841 stars in a C-M diagram appear to be anomalous in the sense that its brightest stars have luminosities greater than the tips of giant branches of metal poor galactic globular clusters.
