Spectroscopy and variability studies of red stars in the Bar of the LMC enable the stars to be classed as spectral type M, S or C and as variables of class L, SR or Mira. The results are compared with data for Magellanic Cloud star clusters and for the galactic field. The number of S stars relative to carbon stars is generally high in comparison to theoretical expectation.
