Scientific paper

Kinematical and photometric observations of four early-type galaxies with dust lanes along the major axes are presented. 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 SOs. The dust lanes in Anon 1029-459 and NGC 5745 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 as well defined as the class of minor-axis dust-lane galaxies.
