Abstract
Systematic dynamical properties of Sa, Sb, and Sc field galaxies are presented. The rotational properties of the Sb(r)I galaxy NGC 3200 suggest that it resembles our Galaxy. It is concluded that the general dynamical properties of our Galaxy are not yet sufficiently well known to place it accurately in the sequence of external galaxies.
