FRAGMENTS OF PARTHENON METOPES. 205

to Museum Marbles, Part vii., and was drawn by Carrey,
who gives the whole metope as a youth raising his hands
in astonishment, and a woman with a casket.

Michaelis, pi. 3, xiv.; Synopsis, No. 319 (14-3).

3. Metope XVI. The head and trunk of a figure who
has fallen in a combat between two men. The trunk
was one of the Elgin fragments, and is also engraved in
the vignette to Museum Marbles, Part vii. The head was
formerly at Chatsworth, and was presented to the Museum
by the Duke of Devonshire in 1859. Carrey gives ihe
position of the head of the fallen figure very accurately.

Synopsis, No. 323 (294); Michaelis, pi. 3, xvi.

4. Metope XX. Left thigh of female figure with clinging
drapery, standing turned to the left.

The following fragments are either of doubtful or
unknown origins. Probably they are all derived from
metopes on the south side.

5. Left breast of draped female figure. South side, Metope
No. XIII. ?

Synopsis, No. 302 (132); Michaelis, pi. 4, fig. K.

6. Fragment of right arm from the wrist to above the
elbow, which is bent; above the wrist is attached a
corner of drapery. Presented by M. Dubois, 1840. South
side, Metope No. XV. ?

7. Fragment of right arm from the wrist to the elbow,
placed across the breast and left shoulder, with folds of
drapery hanging as if from the hand. South side,
Metope No. XIX. ?

Synopsis, No. 305 (136).

8. Fragment of left arm from the wrist to near the elbow.

Synopsis, No. 306 (137).
