  The correlation between a galaxy's morphology and its observed optical
spectrum is investigated. As an example, 4000 galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy
Redshift Survey, which possess both good quality spectra and have visually
determined morphologies are analysed. Of particular use is the separation of
Early and Late type galaxies present in a redshift survey since these can then
be used in their respective redshift-independent distance estimators (Dn-sigma
and Tully-Fisher). It is determined that galaxies in this sample can be
relatively successfully separated into these two types by the use of various
statistical methods. These methods are briefly outlined in this paper and are
also compared to the default 2dFGRS spectral classification (eta). In addition
it is found that the 4000Ang break in the spectrum is the best discriminant in
determining its morphological type.
