the Perinthos head, by which the horizontal section broadens
slightly the ellipse into something approaching a circle, must
not be allowed to have equal weight with a fundamental dif-
ference in the structure of the head. Progress makes larger

Carlsberg, Plate 36, is such a new member in the group under
discussion. The head from Corinth is knocking loudly for ad-
mission into the same group, which it will help to bind togeth-
er still more firmly. If we put the Corinth head between the
Discobolos and Perinthos heads, we see that it shows the mean

(figs. 3, 4, 6). In the treatment of the hair it is much nearer to
the Perinthos and Ince - Blundell heads than to the Discobo-
los which smacks of rudis antiquitas.
