This work is based on observations made with the William Herschel Telescope operated on the island of La Palma by the Isaac Newton Group in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. We used the HyperLeda galaxy database, which is available on www-obs.univ-lyon1.fr/hypercat. We thank O. Gerhard and the anonymous referee for their helpful comments for improving the paper.
