Scientific paper

A survey of box-shaped galaxies complete to B(tau) = 13.2 in the whole sky is presented, consisting of 74 objects, 60 of which are new identifications. The observed frequency of lenticulars exhibiting this phenomenon is shown to be consistent with the hypothesis of their being edge-on barred galaxies. A sequence noted in the morphology of the box-shaped bulges is thought to be related to the global dynamical structure of these galaxies.
