Abstract: The statistical properties of the holes of the nearby dwarf galaxy IC 2574 are considered. We report that the distribution of the kinematic ages of the holes located at the receding side of the galaxy is remarkably different to the distribution for the holes situated at the approaching side. The mean values of the kinematic ages are 16.45± 5.0 Myr and 30.0±13.010.5 Myr, respectively. This feature is interpreted as evidence in favor of a connection between the star formation activity and the formation of holes in the ISM.
