Aperture-synthesis maps of the radio galaxies 3C 382 and 3C 386 have been made at wavelengths of 21 cm and 6 cm. The observations show that each source has double structure on a scale of 3 arcmin and a compact central component which coincides with the optical galaxy. There is evidence that the flux density of the central component of 3C 382 changed by 25% before 1974, and it is suggested that the galaxy may be associated with the X-ray source 4U 1825+33. Both 3C 382 and 3C 386 exhibit strong linear polarization at the two wavelengths, and this has been used to derive the distributions of rotation measure, depolarization, and magnetic-field direction. These and other parameters are discussed in terms of physical processes and the source environment.
