The results from EXOSAT and Ginga observations of the 21 hour period dip source 4U 1624-49 are presented. Two aspects of the time variability are considered. The behavior of the fractal dimension of the dip light curves as a function of dip activity are studied. The spectral characteristics of the source outside and during dip events are discussed. The non-dip state shows intermittent flaring activity which is modeled. The spectral analysis of the dips is complicated by the column density of the absorbing clouds. The implications of this effect are discussed, and it is found that the metallicity of the absorbing materials is 0.9 + or - 0.4 of the normal cosmic value.
