In order to make a direct comparison with observations of the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen, theoretical profiles based on the ideas of the density-wave theory are constructed for a modified Schmidt model of the Galaxy and its theoretical spiral pattern. The comparison has covered galactic longitudes lII = 30° −330° with 10° intervals in the galactic plane. Good agreement is found in most of the above directions.
