CATALOGUE OF SCULPTUKE.

Ikonographie, II., p. 154. Incorrectly stated (in Mus. Marbles
and elsewhere) to have been found near Albano, being confused
with No. 1S36, which Mr. Townlev called Aratus. The place of
origin is unknown.

1848. (Plate XI.) Terminal bearded head (unknown), with
square forehead, and short curling beard. The head has
been called Metrodorus (Grseco-Roman Guide, L, No. 59),
but it has no resemblance to the established type for that
philosopher.

Marble. Height, 1 foot 5 inches. Eestored: bust, part of under
lip and tip of nose. The whole of the nose and upper lip has
been broken off and rejoined. Grceco-Roman Guide, I., No. 59;
Mansell, No. 1265.

1849. (Plate XII.) Unknown bearded head, which has been
fitted to a statue at the base of the neck. It represents a
man in middle life.—Temple Bequest.

Marble. Height, 1 foot 2J inches. Unrestored, but partly worked
over. Grceco-Roman Guide, I., No. 62 ; Mansell, No. 1319.

1850. (Plate XII.) Head of a Philosopher (?). Unknown male
bearded head. The beard is long and divided in the
centre; the hair is rough, and rises to a sort of crest
above the middle of the forehead; the pupils of the eyes
are deeply sunk; the tip of the nose and back of the head
wanting.—Pozzuoli. Temple Bequest.

Greek marble. Height, 1 foot 4 inches. Grccco-Soman Guide, I.,
No. 93a.

1851 Terminal head of an unknown Philosopher, or, perhaps,
rather of a Poet. The head has contracted and swollen
brows, short curling beard and moustache, and scanty
hair, confined by a narrow fillet.

This head has been called Homer (Leake), or Bias of
Priene (Mus. Marbles'), but neither attribution is satis-
