NOTE.
Since this work was printed off I have had occasion to refer to the fragments of sculpture now in
the Louvre, brought by M. Texier from a Doric temple, erected at Assos in the Troad in the fifth or
sixth century B.C., and have been so much struck with the similarities that exist between them and
those in the ancient Vihara at Bhaja described in the Appendix, that I avail myself of this oppor-
tunity of directing attention to the fact, whatever the result of further investigations may be.
The principal ornaments of the fagade, according to M. Texier's restoration,1 are two groups of t»o
bulls fighting, very similar to those represented on Plate XCVL, fig. 4, but without the prostrate man.
In the centre are two sphinxes, winged, and their bodies leonine instead of bovine, as in the Cave,
and between these two groups are lions devouring animals, as in the lower part of Plate XCV111.
Only two metopes were found. In one of these the sphinxes were repeated, in the other was a male
centaur, and there can, from the general character of the sculptures, be little doubt that females of tnt
same class existed in others. No fragment was found of the sculptures in the tympana, so that no
complete comparison of the whole can be instituted.
The Architecture of the temple, of course, differs absolutely, as in every other known instance, boi
in principle and detail from that exhibited in this or any other Cave in India, but both the style ai
symbolism of the Sculpture seems undoubtedly to point to a common origin. The two nionumtn
are too distant both in locality and date to admit of any direct copying being possible, bu
similarity of their sculptures seems a satisfactory confirmation of the remark hazarded on page ■>'■
regarding the influence of a strongly marked Yavana element in those of the Bhsija Vihara.—J-
