Scientific paper

CCD surface photometry of the minor axis brightness profiles of five edge-on galaxies with box- or peanut-shaped bulges is presented. The profile of NGC 5746 consists of two separate components and looks very much similar to the unusual and until now unique profile of NGC 4565. The distinct difference between the minor axis profiles of NGC 4565 and NGC 5746 and the other 4 profiles presented here shows that galaxies with such bulges are not a homogeneous group.
