  We present initial results of an ongoing study of the supernova remnants
(SNRs) and candidates in the Magellanic Clouds. Some 108 objects in both Clouds
are considered to be either an SNR or a reliable candidate. This represents the
most complete sample of known SNRs in any galaxy. therefore, this study allows
us to study SNR population properties such as the size and spectral index
distribution. Here, we also show 12 known Large Magellanic Cloud SNRs from type
Ia SN explosions and briefly comment on their importance.
