Abstract
Velocity field in the central region of M82 has drawn in detail mainly from Hα. This velocity field is consistent with that of Neii 12.8 μm except for the region near a huge dust lane, and it cannot be explained by pure rotation around the galactic center. Origin of peculiarities of the velocity field is briefly discussed.
