FRAGMENTS OF PARTHENON SCULPTURES. 123

5. Three smaller fragments of similar wings.

One is engraved, Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 10 ; Laborde, pi. 25, fig. 17.

6. Portion of chiton, the flowing lines of which greatly
resemble the treatment of the Iris ? (G) of the east pedi-
ment.

Length, 1 foot 6J inches.

7. Portion of the right side of a draped figure wearing
chiton and mantle, and sitting on a rock. Attributed by
Michaelis to the west pediment (fig. D or fig. TJ).

Height, 3 feet 3 inches. Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 5. See above, No. 304 D.

8. Left knee of seated draped figure, with the fingers of
a small right hand on it. (West pediment, figs. D, E.)
See No. 304, D, E, and below, No. 339, 30.

Height, 1 foot.

9. Left leg of colossal male figure, bent nearly at a right
angle at the knee. It is made up from two pieces, a
fragment reaching from half way up the thigh to below
the knee, and the fragment of a leg (Michaelis, pi. 8,
fig. 36), reaching to the bottom of the calf.

The scale and the attitude seem to agree well with the
figure of Hermes (H) of the west pediment.

Greatest circumference of the thigh, 2 feet 7J inches.

10. Fragment of the right leg and thigh of a colossal male
figure, made up of two pieces, the leg from below the
knee nearly to the ankle (Michaelis, pi. 8, fig 38), and.
the knee with the beginning of the thigh. This leg is
slightly bent at the knee. It is on the same scale as
the preceding No. 9, and appears to be in the required
position for the right knee of the figure of Hermes (H)
in the west pediment.

Height, 1 foot 11 inches.
