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.
