Description:
    The central area of the Sculptor dwarf galaxy was surveyed for
    variable stars as a side-program of the OGLE project. Light curves in
    the V band were obtained for 226 RR Lyr stars and for 3 anomalous
    cepheids. The data on RR Lyr variables in four nearby dwarf galaxies
    are summarized and discussed briefly.
