1002. (Plate XVI.) The forehand with head of a colossal
horse, from behind the shoulder. Eound the chest is
a band, which served instead of a collar, and which is
united at the crest with another band which passed round
the body. This harness proves that the horse belonged
to a chariot group. The bronze bit and bridle still
remain attached to the marble. The legs have been
broken away close to the body.

1003. (Plate XVI.) The hinder half of a colossal horse, corre-
sponding in scale with No. 1002, but shown by the action
of the hind legs to have belonged to a different horse in
the team. This fragment extends from a joint at the
middle of the body to the root of the tail, and measures in
length rather more than 6 feet. A small portion of the
anterior half of this horse, found detached, has been
adjusted to its place at the joint. The legs have been
broken away close to the body. A part of the surface
below the belly lias been cut away for the support.

Height, 5 feet 2J inches.

1004. (Plate XVI.) Wheel of the chariot made up of the
following fragments: part of the felloe, half the nave,
and a piece of two of the spokes. These fragments were
found on the north side of the northern peribolos-wall;
