The scale and direction show that this head belonged to
a chariot group on the north side.

14. Fragment containing a part of tbe neck and lower
part of the mane of one of the horses of a chariot group,
together with a part of the neck of a second horse. This
fragment, which was discovered in the excavations on the
Acropolis of 1889, must belong to a chariot group of the
north frieze, perhaps to slab xi., xv., or xvi.

Height, 1 foot 3 inches.

15. The upper part of two horsemen, and part of the bead
or neck of a succeeding horse. The second rider, whose
hand is preserved, held metal reins. The horse had a
metal bridle. This fragment was formerly in the
Cataio Villa, and afterwards the property of Archduke
Karl of Austria. It must have belonged to the frag-
mentary portion of the north frieze, between slabs xxvi.
and xxviii.

pi. 13, xxvii.
