Abstract
The observed radial distributions of oxygen abundance in ten spiral galaxies of various Hubble types from Sbc to Sd have been compared with predictions of the closed-box model for chemical and photometric evolution of galaxies. The purpose is to search for the deficiency of oxygen abundance in galaxies which is an indicator of unenriched gas infall into the galaxy or/and heavy element loss via galactic winds.
