We have made HI observations of an early type, NGC 1398 (SBab(r)I), and a late type barred system, NGC 3319 (SBc(s)II.4). NGC 1398 is a beautifully symmetric galaxy with a bright stellar bulge, bar and inner ring and tightly wound spiral arms (also classified as an R1 double outer pseudoring). In HI the spiral structure is strong but the center shows a sharp depletion. In contrast, NGC 3319 has an asymmetric appearance and irregular spiral structure. It is rich in its central HI with a gas bar and spiral arms, both of which are highlighted by prominent HII regions. We attempt to determine the pattern speeds of the galaxies and to explore the differences between early and late type systems.
