A review is given on the properties of the pulsating hydrogen-deficient stars. Since they lie in a large area of the HR diagram, the properties of pulsations are greatly different among them. Pulsations tend to change from radial pulsations to non-radial pulsations as the surface gravity increases. Strong nonadiabaticity affects the dynamical properties of pulsations in high luminosity helium stars. The kappa and gamma mechanisms for helium ionization excite radial pulsations in relatively cool helium stars and nonradial pulsations in DB (helium atmosphere) white dwarfs, while the cyclical ionization of the K-shell electrons of carbon and oxygen seems to be responsible for the excitation of the nonradial pulsations in the GW Vir (PG1159-035) stars (very hot hydrogen-deficient pre-white dwarf stars). The excitation mechanism of the radial pulsations in a unique extreme helium star V652 Her (BD+13°3224) is not known. Period changes have been detected for many pulsating helium stars except the pulsating DB white dwarfs.
