... High-resolution Halpha observations reveal the existence of an unusual bar in the disk of NGC 1808 at a position angle of 155 degr, about 20 degr offset from the major axis. ... A remarkably similar bar has been found in the galaxy NGC 7479. The outer parts of the HII region chain in NGC 1808 coincide with maxima in the HI gas distribution and further out connect to the outer spiral arms. The streaming of gas along the bar is clearly seen in the HI velocity field. ...
