THE FOURTH FEIEZE.

908. This slab is quite unfinished, and is an instructive
example of the sculptor's method. The whole of the field
is sunk first to the required depth, leaving the figures in
outline of the height of the original surface. The next
step is to work the figures in the round. The outlines
appear to represent a kneeling figure ; a figure standing
with a patera (?) ; a seated figure; a second figure standing
with a patera.

THE NEREIDS.

The Nereid Monument derives its name from the series
of figures which occupied the intercolumniations of the
structure, and which have been called Nereids since their
discovery. The view that these figures are Nereids is
still generally held, though other interpretations have
been suggested.
