ARCHITECTURE OF THE LION TOMB. 505

first, from their being found close to the face of the
building; secondly, from the similarity of their
dressing to that of the lower course in situ;
thirdly, because there were corner-stones of this
kind found, which could not have occupied a higher
position on the building, as we know that there
were ansde columns.

The masonry of the core was tolerably even
until it reached the height of 6' 10" above the lower
course; here a block of marble, 1' 2" in entire
thickness, including the sinkings, projected from
the face of the work 20", at which length it had
been broken off. Above it, a similar block existed
at the angles, and in the centre of the course ; the
depth of this was 1' 8". A stone corresponding
in depth with this upper block was found near the
building. This had a hollow moulding on its face,
and had manifestly formed a cornice to some divi-
sion of the structure, and, from its proximity to the
face of the building and to the stones before men-
tioned, there was good reason for supposing that
it had formed the cornice of the podium.

'Five varieties of corner-stones were discovered.
Three of these had the sinking for the joint on the
lower edge only. One had the sinking both on the
upper and lower edges, and another (the 3' 6" stone)
had neither sinking nor draught on the upper edge,
but a line of drip on the upper surface distant 2^"
from the edge.

The natural arrangement of these corner-stones
is that shown in the Elevation (Plate LXIIL), as
will be subsequently demonstrated, and, when put
