Low dispersion spectra of two shell galaxies, NGC 3923 and NGC 3051, have been obtained covering the 5300Å to 10000Å spectral range. These long-slit spectra go through the nucleus of each galaxy and also through 12 shells in NGC 3923 and through 3 shells in NGC 3051. the main results are:1) In NGC 3051 the surface brightness of the 2 inner shells is nearly constant with radius. These plateaus of luminosity have very abrupt outer cutoffs but have no detectable inner limits.
