The peculiar motions for spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies within V = 3500 km/s are compared to the model predictions of the mass concentration (MC) velocity field model of Lynden-Bell et al. The large-scale motions defined by over 600 galaxies from three independent sets of data (Aaronson et al.; de Vaucouleurs and Peters and elliptical galaxies) are in substantial agreement with this model.
