The techniques and procedures of time-series monitoring and Fourier analysis which are used at Cerro Tololo to search for luminosity variations in white dwarfs are summarized. Further null results from this program, which are applicable to the problem of defining the region of white-dwarf variability in the HR-diagram, are considered; and the properties of the four known variables are reviewed as possible archetypes of a group.
