But he seems to be in error as to the sex, and the frag-

Length, 1 foot. Synopsis, No. 312 (267).
336. Fore part of right foot of female figure, resting on a
thick sole. The foot belonged to a colossal figure, which

Length, 1 foot If inches (length of second toe, 3f inches). Michaelisj
pi. 8, fig. 32; Synopsis, No. 340 (24-4).
337. Piece of drapery, which must have hung free, appa-

a joint.
Height, 2 feet 1J inches. Synopsis, No. 343 (144).

Height, 11 inches. Synopsis, No. 303 (133).
Casts from Fragments of the Pedimental Sculptures.
