A comparison is made of the period distribution of Miras in the Bulge in fields centred at b = −3°.9 and b = −7°.5 The field centred at l = 0°.0 b = −7°.5, occupies 3.79 square degrees and is part of Baade/Plaut field 3. The Miras are those discussed by Wesselink (1987) and those discovered through follow up observations of IRAS objects. The sample is almost certainly incomplete as there are probably Miras of intermediate period which were not detected by either Wesselink or IRAS. The period distribution is shown in Fig 1a.
