Abstract
We present kinematical and photometric observations of four early-type galaxies with dust lanes along the major axes. They are Anon 1029–459, NGC 3528, 4370 and 5745. For Anon 1029–459 radio observations are also presented. All the systems but NGC 4370 show relatively high stellar rotational velocities similar to those observed in S0s. The dust lanes in Anon 1029–459 and NGC5745 are warped, suggesting that they are relatively young. There are contradictory indications that these systems are elliptical galaxies. The class of major-axis dust-lane ellipticals is not yet so well defined as the class of minor-axis dust-lane galaxies.Keywords
