Data from the scanning modulation collimator on HEAO 1 are presented which firmly establish high-excitation emission-line galaxies as a class of X-ray source. For NGC 5506 and M82, the X-ray emission (1-13 keV) is shown to originate in the nuclear region of the galaxy; NGC 2992 and NGC 526a are also identified as X-ray emitters, but are not resolved. The latter is a new identification for 2A 0120-353, previously associated with the NGC 526/527 group. In these four particular cases, the observed X-ray-emitting galaxies have a close companion, and the X-ray emission may have been triggered by a close encounter
