The evolutionary status of hydrogen-poor stars is assessed. Photoelectric observations of six objects are reported as a first step in a long-term project devoted to a search for variability of a large sample of hydrogen-poor stars. The observed stars exhibit phenomena of microvariability with an amplitude of the order of 0.1m or less. Two extreme helium stars are examined: a period in the range of 0.162d-0.164d is found for BD + 10 deg 2179 with P = 0.1079962d for BD + 13 deg 3324. It is noted that the mass-losing O subdwarf (sdO) BD = + 37 deg 443 exhibits short-term fluctuations with a time-scale of several minutes and long-term variations on a scale of months.
