We discuss available information on the distribution of luminous and dark matter in eight galaxies. The galaxies have been chosen according to the following criteria: 1) existence of a good rotation curve, extending well beyond the optical radius; 2) a mass model has been published; 3) valuable constraints can be put on the amount of dark matter inside the optical radius. A full description of the data and reduction procedures is in Bahcall and Casertano (1985).
