(1) From new radial velocities of 67 H II regions in M 31, rotational velocities and a mass model of M 31 are derived, and compared with the rotation curve and Schmidt mass model of our galaxy. (2) It is shown that in M 31 the distribution of H II regions as identified by Baade agrees with the distribution of neutral hydrogen determined from 21-cm observations. Also, the rotation curve derived from the H II velocities outside of the nucleus is similar to the rotation curve derived from 21-cm H I observations.
