Semi-regular pulsating variable giants and supergiants of spectral types F, G, and K (SRd variables in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars) are undergoing thermal loops from the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) in the H-R diagram, or are in transition from the AGB to the white dwarf stage. They are related to the Population II Cepheids, and the RV Tauri stars, and may form a continuous spectrum of behaviour with these stars. In this paper, we describe studies of the evolution of five SRd variables, as deduced from period changes. We also discuss the question of whether SRd variables show the long secondary periods that are observed in about half of all RVTauri stars -- the RVB stars.
