Based on an analysis of light curves of 223 long-period variables of the Mira Ceti type, recorded using the HIPPARCOS space telescope, it is shown that all the light curves of these stars can be divided by outward form into two groups: stars exhibiting simple light curves of sinusoidal shape and stars with complicated light curves, with hump-shaped formations on the ascending branch of the curve. Some observational parameters of the investigated stars display a tendency to separation into groups of stars with complicated and simple light curves. Stars with complicated light curves have longer periods, they are brighter in absolute bolometric magnitude, and there is a greater probability of detecting polarization in their light.
