The distribution of morphological types of galaxies in compact groups is studied on plates from the 6 m telescope. In compact groups there are 57% galaxies of late morphological types (S + Irr), 23% lenticulars (SO) and 20% ellipical galaxies. The morphological content of compact groups is very nearly the same as in loose groups. There is no dependence of galaxy morphology on density in all compact groups (and possibly in loose groups). Genuine compact groups form only 60% if Hickson’s list.
