Popis: We study the nature of damped Lya absorption (DLA) systems at z= -17) to the total neutral gas cross section is not necessary; (4) of the 11 DLAs studied, 45% are disk dominated, 22% are bulge dominated, 11% are irregular, and 22% are in galaxy groups, indicating that galaxies that give rise to the DLAs span a wide range of morphological types and arise in a variety of galaxy environment; (Abridged)
