A second report on our 4-year survey for long-period variables (LPVs) in the central 24 × 24 arcmin2 of the Galactic Bulge is presented. All four seasons of data have now been reduced and ∼ 350 variables have been found. Preliminary periods have been obtained for most of them. Fifty-five out of 103 known OH/IR stars in the field have been recovered in the K-band.
