Consideration is given to hydrodynamic models of helium stars, with masses of 0.7 and 0.6 solar mass, bolometric magnitudes in the range -4 to -6 mag, and effective temperatures in the range 9000 to 30,000 K. The vertical part of the blue boundary of the pulsation instability region is found to shift from T(eff) of about 7400 to 11,000 K when the stellar mass changes from 1 to 0.7 solar mass. In stars located along the vertical part of the instability region boundary, the pulsation instability is driven by both the kappa and gamma mechanisms, the order of the principal pulsation mode increasing with decreasing luminosity. Stars with T(eff) of not less than 12,000 K are found to be unstable only for L of not less than 12,800 solar luminosities. In stars located along the horizontal part of the instability region boundary, the role of the kappa mechanism decreases with increasing effective temperature, so that for T(eff) of greater than about 20,000 K the pulsations are mostly due to the gamma mechanism.
