1. Introduction

The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) is a long term project with the main goal of searching for dark matter in our Galaxy by identifying microlensing events toward the galactic bulge (Udalski et al. 1992, 1994). At times the bulge is unobservable we conduct other long-term photometric programs. A complete list of side-projects attempted by the OGLE team can be found in Paczyński et al. (1995). In particular, during the observing seasons 1993, 1994 and 1995 we monitored globular clusters NGC 104=47 Tuc and NGC tex2html_wrap_inline1293 Cen in a search for variable stars of various types. Of primary interest was the detection of detached eclipsing binaries. In Papers I, II & III (Kaluzny et al. 1996, 1997a,b) we presented results for tex2html_wrap_inline1295 Cen. Here we report on variables discovered in the field of 47 Tuc.
