Most of the ivory lay to the N. of the stone

Owing to the bad condition in which it was found, it

pieces. The best are figured in the Pls. VII.-XVL,
and all the classes of ivory objects are there repre-
sented, except that of the larger statuettes about
40 cm. high. No one of these was well preserved.
This list does not show all the archaic objects found
in the temple ; but those not here given were found
at some little distance from the main group.
