We have presented kinematical data for 21 early-type galaxies. Among the 18
objects for which we have measured

published value; and NGC 2332 had no previous determinations of

For most of them, our profiles extend to more than one

Comparisons with data from the literature lead to the following two comments:

but the overall agreement is good: for 20 objects, our dispersions are on
average within 12% of the others. For these objects, the
mean of the residuals 
with respect to the Fundamental Plane,
(as calculated by PS96, but with no rotation and no stellar-population effects
included), is slightly
reduced, from -0.06 down to -0.03, when replacing the literature values
by our measurements; and the scatter in 
is also marginally
reduced, from 0.22 (rms) to 0.19. We are thus confident in the overall
reliability of our dispersions.
measurements, that the discrepancy is much larger for the rotation than for
the dispersion; this may come from two effects, a
difference in the adopted PA, and a different distance r for the
determination: the case of NGC 2768 is revealing, our new determination
corresponding to the second plateau in the rotation curve; this justifies
the indication of
