The NGC 3619, 3626, and 3900 galaxies were mapped in the 21-cm H-I line with a spatial resolution of about 30 arcsec and a velocity resolution of 40 km/s. An encounter with the nearby spiral NGC 3625, or a merge with a dwarf galaxy, some 0.5 to 10 to the 9th years ago may explain the optical and H-I properties of NGC 3619. The H-I distribution of S0/a galaxies is shown to resemble that of Sa, rather than S0, galaxies, suggesting an internal origin for the H-I gas in S0/a galaxies. The Tully-Fisher relation and total M/L ratios of S0/a galaxies are found to be similar to those of other types of galaxies.
