We carried out numerical modeling of evolution of expanding HI shells in the irregular dwarf galaxy HoII, member of the M81 group. The results are compared with the HI distribution obtained on the VLA. The inconsistency between the expected and observed directions of elongation of many shells is connected with the effect of local inhomogeneities of the interstellar medium and with interaction between the shells. A simple method is suggested, which allows one to discriminate between the two possible orientations of the angular-momentum vector of the galaxy rotation.
