    PR # 31196                                                                   
     Ginga discovered several obscured nuclei in the Seyfert  2 galaxies.        
      It is consistent with the prediction from the  unified seyfert model       
     .  However, for half of our sample, we can not detect the X-ray light       
      in the Ginga band.  Missing the hard X-ray emission would indicate a       
     n absence of the  obscured nucleus or the completely hidden nucleus s       
     imilar to  NGC1068. We will examine the presence of the nuclues in th       
     e  galaxies using ASCA.  If there are luminous nuclei, we would  obse       
     rve only scattered light, and it means that NGC1068 is  not special a       
     mong Seyfert 2 galaxies. If no luminous nuclei,  they are first clear       
      examples against the unified Seyfert model.
