  We have observed the nearly face-on spiral galaxy NGC 5668 with the TAURUS II
Fabry-Perot interferometer at the William Herschel Telescope using the
$H\alpha$ line to study the kinematics of the ionized gas. From the extracted
data cube we construct intensity, velocity and velocity dispersion maps. We
calculate the rotation curve in the innermost 2 arcmin and we use the residual
velocity field to look for regions with important vertical motions. By
comparing the geometry of these regions in the residual velocity field with the
geometry in the intensity and velocity dispersion maps we are able to select
some regions which are very likely to be shells or chimneys in the disk. The
geometry and size of these regions are very similar to the shells or chimneys
detected in other galaxies by different means. Moreover, it is worth noting
than this galaxy has been reported to have a population of neutral hydrogen
high velocity clouds (Schulman et al. 1996) which, according to these
observations, could have been originated by chimneys similar to those reported
in this paper.
