DEM 34 (N 11) is a 350-pc-diameter giant interstellar shell which has an OB association in its central hole and OB associations within H II regions in its irregular filamentary perimeter. Spatially resolved profiles of the H-alpha emission line have been obtained with the Manchester echelle spectrometer on the Anglo-Australian telescope along a 232-pc-long NS line of measurements which passes over the center of DEM 34. In the faint emission over the central hole of DEM 34 which contains the OB association LH 9, up to 5 separate velocity components within a range of heliocentric radial velocities of 210-370 km/sec are found. Some evidence of systematic radial expansions within the ionized gas of this hole are found; however, expansions more complex than for a single radially expanding spherical shell are indicated.
