Scientific paper

The authors present six new cases of minor-axis rotation in elliptical
galaxies. This more than doubles the number of objects known to exhibit
such a dynamical behaviour. Combining these results with other
kinematical and morphologial properties, it is shown that the observed
galaxies most likely are of prolate or nearly prolate triaxial shape.
