Abstract: I apply constant-anisotropy spherical dynamical models to a sample of 18 round ellipticals to look for evidence of dark halos. All 18 lie along a Tully--Fisher relation parallel to that for spirals, but fainter at given vc by about 1 mag. By constructing more general, flattened models, I show there is a degeneracy between anisotropy and flattening, and discuss its implications.
