Boxy and peanut-shaped bulges are seen in about half of edge-on disc galaxies. Comparisons the photometry major-axis gas stellar kinematics these to simulations bar formation evolution indicate that they bars viewed projection. If properties boxy can be entirely explained by assuming bars, then this may imply their hosts pure galaxies with no classical bulge. A handful bulges, including Milky Way, have been observed rotate cylindrically, i.e. a mean velocity independent height above disc. In...
