A sample of carbon-rich stars (C-stars) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) was selected from the combined 2MASS and DENIS catalogues on the basis of their J-Ks colour. This sample was extended to include confirmed C-stars from the Rebeirot et al. (1993, Cat. ) spectroscopic atlas. In this combined sample (N=1149), a smaller number (N=1079) were found to have MACHO observations. For this sub-sample, light curves were determined and 919 stars were found to have high quality light-curves with amplitudes of at least 0.05mag.
