Resonance ring galaxies are barred (and sometimes nonbarred) spiral galaxies which display an inner, outer, or nuclear ring in the light distribution. This study is of the HII region properties in 32 probable resonance ring galaxies selected mainly from the Catalog of Southern Ringed Galaxies (CSRG; Buta 1995). The objective of the study is to illustrate the distributions of HII regions in classic examples of ringed galaxies, and to relate the observed properties to resonance theory. Here we present a brief summary of a more extensive paper on the results of this study (Crocker, Baugus, & Buta 1996).
