[327. 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
in higher relief than the remaining groups with cattle.

may be, as Michaelis suggests, a part of the corner
102. slab xliv., the head and leg 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-
nexion 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 friezes,
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.
P. indicates that a slab was drawn by Pars, during the Dilettanti
Expedition, and was published in the Antiquities of Athens, IV., chap, iv.,
pis. 6-10, 15-28. The editor of that volume only used such of the
drawings of Pars as were needed to supplement those of Stuart. The
complete set was engraved in the Museum Worsleyanum, such prints being
here indicated by W. The original drawings were burnt in a recent fire
at Brocklesby Park. [The plates of the Milan edition, being revised, do not
give the work of Pars.]
The British Museum possesses a series of drawings of the frieze, so far
as it was still in position, by one of Lord Elgin's artists, probably Feodor.
The series extends from slab xxxii. of the north side, to slab xiii. of the
south side, and includes the west end. With the exception, however, of
the first three slabs on the south side, which have suffered subsequent
