Well pronounced molecular bands displayed by the spectra of carbon stars make their detection possible in relatively distant galaxies. However, so far, extensive surveys for this kind of object have only been made in the Galactic halo galaxies, mainly in the Magellanic Clouds and in the dwarf spheroidals. We review the carbon star surveys of these systems with special emphasis on low luminosity carbon stars that have been found in the Small Magellanic Cloud and recently in the Fornax dwarf galaxy.
