An evolutionary sequence is suggested for Virgo cluster galaxies, in a radial velocity-nuclear magnitude diagram. This evolution, on a time scale of about 108 yr, is discussed in terms of the morphology and radial color variations of the galaxies, nuclear size and radio emission. An area scan and profiles of nuclei, obtained with image dissector equipment, are presented.
