Abstract
A catalogue is presented with variable (RR Lyrae, semiregular and Mira ) stars located inside field #3 of the Palomar-Groningen Survey at the outer edge of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. One of the semiregular va riables is a carbon star, comparable with those found by Azzopardi et al. (1991). Serendipity provides the suggestion, that their carbon sta rs might not be located inside, but behind the bulge in the Sagittariu s dwarf galaxy.
