     ABSTRACT.  Photometric observations have been made of 36 stars
     classified as CST or CST: in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars.
     Six of these stars are found to vary and three others were deemed
     possible variables.  Of the certain variables, two (MR Her and TY Sge)
     are red pulsators, one (V1585 Cyg) is a rapid irregular variable, one
     is apparently a short period Cepheid-strip star (V432 Oph), one is an
     eclipsing binary (AQ Boo) and one is uncertain type (V351 Cyg).  The
     stars we have observed as MR Her and TY Sge are the same ones which
     were identified on finding charts in the discovery papers suggesting
     that these stars have intervals of variability and intervals of
     quiescence.  V432 Oph is of special interest because our photometry
     indicates that it may be either a double mode Cepheid or a peculiar
     long period RR Lyrae star depending on which of a couple of possible
     periods turns out to be correct.
