Spectra of eight bright red variables in the SMC show that five are M stars, one shows no strong molecular bands, and two are carbon stars. The latter are variables of large amplitude, and it appears that there are both M stars and carbon stars among those SMC stars which appear to be supergiant analogues of Mira variables. Current theory predicts the weak C2 bands of these luminous carbon stars, but also requires strong C-13 features which are not observed.
