as if for the attachment of a crown; the lobe of the ear is
broken away.
51. Portion of chiton, the flowing lines of which greatly
resemble the treatment of the Nike (J) of the East
pediment.
52. Fragment from a colossal figure, apparently the
back of the right thigh with drapery flying behind.
53. Fragment of stem of an olive tree with foliage
(Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 15).
54. Similar fragment of olive tree, larger than last.
55. Fragment of ankle and part of calf of right leg wear-
ing high boot and attached on the right side to the trunk
of an olive tree. It is doubtful whether this or the two
preceding fragments belong to the Parthenon.
CASTS FROM FRAGMENTS OF CHARIOT-
HORSES OF WEST PEDIMENT.
(Wall-Cases, U, V, W, X.)
1. Horse's head, broken off at the setting off of the neck.
The nose wanting. The mane, which has been hogged,
and the surface of this head in several places are broken
away (Michaelis, pi. 8, J.K. a; Laborde, pi. 26, fig. 25).
2. Horse's head, lower half broken away. The mane
hogged, with a loose lock hanging in front. Behind the
ears a groove and two perforations are worked in the
mane, and above the ears two other perforations. These
perforations are visible only on one side of the head.
3. Fragment from left side of horse's head, giving eye
and part of cheek.
4. Fragment of head of quadruped, published by
Michaelis (pi. 8, J.K. b), as belonging to one of the horses
of the West pediment. It differs in character from the
other horses' heads and seems more like the head of a mule
(Laborde, pi. 26, fig. 26).
