FBAGMENTS OP PARTHENON SCULPTURES. 121

335. Fragment of left thigh, above life size. Michaelis
(pi. 8, fig. 39) calls this a female fragment, and suggests
the nude seated female figure S of the west pediment,
but he seems to be in error as to the sex.

Length, 1 foot. Synopsis, No. 312 (267).

336. Fore part of right foot of female figure, resting on a
thiek sole. The foot belonged to a colossal figure, which
can hardly have been other than the Athene of the west
pediment.

Length, 1 foot If inches (length of second toe, 3J inches). Michaelis,
pi. 8, fig. 32; Synopsis, No. 340 (244).

337. Piece of drapery, which must have hung free, apparently
from the shoulder and outstretched right arm of a colossal
figure. At the upper extremity is part of a dowel hole,
showing that the marble had been attached here by a
joint.

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

338. Fragment of right shoulder and arm as low as the
deltoid. The upper arm presses against the side.

Height, 11 inches. Synopsis, No. 303 (133).

Casts from Fragments of the Pedimental Scolpt0res.

1. Colossal female head, slightly turned to its right. The
hair was confined in a plait round the head, and also by a
wreath or band, which was of metal, as is shown by the
holes for its attachment. The nose, mouth, and chin
have been restored; but the grand style of the antique
parts of the head agrees with that of the Parthenon
pediments.

It is impossible, however, to determine to which figure
the] head belongs. It has been assigned by Laborde and
