triangle to the ankles. The feet have been broken off; a
continuous groove from the nape of the neck to the ankles,
which deepens in the lower half of the body, marks the
line of the spine and the division between the lower
limbs; the shoulders are very broad and square. Height,
1 ft. ^ in. Greece. Bequeathed by Percy Clinton, Viscount
Strangford.
(3) Naked female figure similar to that last described,
but headless. The feet are rudely indicated ; the back is
quite flat, with no indication of the spine or buttocks.
Height, 6^ in.
(4) Naked female figure similar to that last described;
headless. Below the crossed arms are three deep horizontal
grooves across the abdomen; the base line of the triangle
representing the pelvis is omitted, and the apex of the
triangle reaches nearly to the knees, leaving no space for
the thighs. The soles of the feet slope forwards; the
base of the neck is marked in front and behind by
grooved lines converging to the centre of the body,
between the shoulders, and above the breasts. Height,
6fin.
(5^ Similar naked female figure. In this specimen the
shoulders are narrower than in the figures previously de-
scribed, and slope from the neck, which is thicker ; the
divisions of the fingers are faintly indicated ; the entire
triangle of the pelvis is sunk below the level of the abdo-
men and hips; the groove between the legs and thighs is
deeper; the bottom of the neck behind is marked by a line
which intersects the line of the spine; the toes are indi-
cated by grooves; the soles of the feet slope forward from
the heel. Height, 1 ft. 7^ in. Greece. Bequeathed by
Percy Clinton, Viscount Strangford.
(6) Similar naked female figure; headless. The right
arm crosses the abdomen horizontally immediately above
the pelvis; the right hand supports the elbow of the left
arm, which crosses the body obliquely, with the hand
raised towards the right breast; the pelvis represented by
an obtuse-angled triangle bisected at its apex, and rudely
stippled over its whole area. From the hips to the feet the
figure tapers without any curve to distinguish the knees
and legs; the fingers are rudely indicated by incised
lines; the upper arms are sculptured free; the back of
the figure is quite flat, except that the separation of the
triangle to the ankles. The feet have been broken off; a
