DESCKIPTION OF PLATES.

Frontispiece.—View of Budrum from the entrance to a rock-cut tomb
on the hill overlooking the Mausoleum, the site of which is
marked by a mound surmounted by a flagstaff.

Plate I.—Plan of Halicarnassus (Budrum), on the base of the
Admiralty chart, No. 1606.

Plate II.—Plan of Environs of the Site of the Mausoleum.
Plate III.—Plan of the Site of the Mausoleum.

Stone at the Western Entrance into the Basement of the
Mausoleum.

Lower View.—The Peribolus Wall on the North of the Mausoleum.

Plate VII.—Alabaster Vase, inscribed with the name of Xerxes in
Hieroglyphics and Cuneiform characters, and in four languages,
Persian, Median, Assyrian, and Egyptian.

Plate VIII.—Two Views of the Great Stone found at the Foot of the
Western Staircase of the Mausoleum.

The upper view shews the inner face of this stone, and the edge of marble pavement
on which, it rested, below which is a drain, leading from the interior of the building into
the lower gallery on the West.

Plates IX. X.—Four Slabs of the Frieze of the Order, discovered on
the Eastern side of the Mausoleum.

Plate XL__Upper View. The Heap of Pyramid Steps as found

behind the Northern Peribolus Wall of the Mausoleum.

One of the figures in this view, is leaning on the upper course of this wall.

The Lower View in this Plate shows the appearance of the
cavation on the North Side of the Mausoleum Quadrangle, before
tl e discovery of the Peribolus Wall, on which rested the Garden Wall,
seen on

the right in this View.

Plate XVIIL—Elevation of South Side.

This shows the edifice as it would be seen from the sea, rising grandly above the
surrounding buildings.

Plate XIX.—Elevation of the West Front.

It is presumed that, according to the general analogy of Greek temples, the entrance
was on the west side, though the main approach to the platform of the peribolus was most
probably by a succession of terraces and staircases from the shore of the harbour on the
south side. At each of the four corners of the basement is placed an equestrian figure,
similar to the torso discovered m situ.

It is very possible that the podium was enriched by friezes or other sculptural
decoration ; but, as no remains of figures or reliefs suitable in scale for such a position were
found, it has not been thought desirable to add such features to a restoration based as far
as possible on positive data.

Plate XX.—Transverse Section, looking West.

This plate shows how the area of the sepulchral chamber must necessarily have
been determined by the cutting in the rock. This chamber was probably covered by
slabs, placed transversely across it, as in the case of the chamber found by M.
Spiegelthal in the mound of Halyattes, near Sardis. (See Rawlinson's Herodotus,
i. p. 232.) The two domical chambers or tholi are similar in dimensions.

Plate XXL—Section through Peristyle at the Fronts, showing the

Lacunaria.
This plate exhibits the probable construction of the pyramid and ceiling between
the columns and walls of the cella on the fronts.

Section through Peristyle at Sides, showing Lacunaria.
Plate XXII.—Details of the Order.

Drawn to 1'10 scale.
Plate XXIII.—Half-Capital.

On a scale of 6 inches to a foot.

Plate XXIV.—Honeysuckle Ornament on Cymatium.
This is of extremely elegant character.

Plate XXV.—Various Stones.

Fig. 1. Section through Pyramid Stones, showing how the Ridges and Grooves fit
one another.

Pig. 2. Upper Surface of a Course of Steps at the corner, showing the arrangement
of the Ridges, and position of Cramp-holes.

Fig. 3. Under Side of a Step, showing the Groove.

Those parts of the grooves and ridges that were concealed by the step above are
roughly worked, so that there were variations in the heights and widths, in some cases as
much as au inch or more.

Fig. 4. The Stone with the 9-inch Tread, from the course immediately below
the platform.

There has apparently been a ridge at the back as well as at the sides of this stone,
showing that it most probably belonged to the pyramid.

Fig. 5. Elevation of end A.

Fig. 6. Elevation of end B.

Fig. 7. One of the stones from the Platform.

The hollows in these stones seem to have been made to receive the rocky base upon
which the horses and chariot rested, portions of which are attached to the foot of the horse.
As the sinking varies in depth, and the rocky base in height, no account has been taken
of the extra depth of the base in calculating the height of the pyramid and quadriga group.
The extent of the rocky base beyond the horses and quadriga could not be ascertained.

belly of one of the horses.

verse Beam.
