Follow-up Einstein X-ray observations of four fields containing pre-main-sequence stars are presented. A search has been made for evidence of variability on time scales of hours and of 1 year. A large, slow flare in AS 205, and the X-ray disappearance of AA Tau are reported. Otherwise, T Tauri stars appear no more variable in X-rays than do active solar-like stars. An attempt has been made to determine spectral parameters for a number of the brighter sources. X-ray absorption column densities are consistent with those inferred from A(v), and T(x) of about 10-million K, in all cases. The importance of these observations for models of T Tauri stars and their coronae is considered.
