327. from the original fragment at Athens. In slab xxxviii.
the cow's right horn must have been carved in the round,
only the tip being attached to the background of the
96. relief. In slab xlii., No. 96 has both hands raised to his
head, as if adjusting a wreath. Compare the north frieze,
No. 25. What was the number of cattle in this part of
the frieze cannot now be ascertained, but there is evidence
that there were at least nine, and more probably ten.
Michaelis (Arch. Zeit, 1885, p. 57), in placing xlii. after
xl., makes the right hand seen on the left of xlii. to be
91. the hand of No. 91 ( = Michaelis, No. 115), and the portion
of a cow's belly seen between 90 and 91 to be part of the
cow on the left of xlii. It is to be noticed that the hind
legs of this cow have been altogether omitted.
There is a curious inequality in the depths of the relief
in this part of the frieze. Slabs xxxix., xl. are worked
more in the round than the remaining groups with cattle.
100, 101. The fragment with the two heads, Nos. 100 and 101,
may be, as Michaelis suggests, a part of the corner slab
102. xliv., the two parts at present numbered as 101, 102
being different parts of the same figure. The positions
of the head and the foot appear to agree. On the other
hand, the surfaces of the two fragments have weathered
very differently.
On the return face of slab xliv. is the marshal, who
forms the first figure of the east frieze, and makes a con-
nection between the two sides, by looking back, as if to
the advancing procession.
In the following conspectus of publications of the frieze, only the
Museum Marbles and the work of Michaelis, and the photographic repro-
ductions are referred to in detail. For a fuller list of early publications
the reader is referred to the work of Michaelis. Deficiencies in the pub-
lished illustrations, as compared with the present state of the frieze,
are noted in the description. In the fourth column C. indicates that the
slab was drawn by Carrey ; S. that it was drawn by Stuart, and published
in the Antiquities of Athens, II., chap, i., or IV., chap, iv., pis. 11-14.
