To understand the origin and evolution of starburst activity, we must study the full evolution of starburst; i.e., pre-, on-going, and post-starburst phases. It seems reasonable to suppose the numerous A-type stars indicate past starburst and they show strong Balmer absorption. NGC7331, nearby early-type spiral galaxy, is one of the poststarburst galaxies which show strong Balmer absorption. The optical spectra of NGC7331 were dominated by component of intermediate-age (5 × 109 years) stellar populations (Ohyama & Taniguchi 1996). We present the result of the high resolution CO observations of NGC7331 using Nobeyama Milimeter Array.
