CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

Greek marble. Height, 111 inches. Restored: right ear, nose,
part of chin, and part of hair at the back of the head. The
head was probably brought from the Mediterranean by Philip
Barker Webb, the donor of No. 1705. Reinach, Rev. Arch.,
3rd ser., XXI., p. 114; Collignon, Bull, de Corr. Hellenique,
XVII., p. 294; pis. 12, 13 ; Mansell, No. 1154.

2729. Head of a Diadumenos. Tlie head is slightly inclined
downwards, and to the right. The short curling hair is
confined by a broad taenia, which passes across the fore-
head. In the treatment of the hair there is a marked
difference between this and other renderings of the head.
Instead of being simply compressed by the fillet, crisp
curls escape and lie on its surface.

Pentelic marble. Height of head, 11 inches. Restored: the bust
(which is cast from the Diadumenos of Vaison, No. 500), nose,
lips. Bought, 1895. Murray, Rev. Arch., 3rd ser., XXVII.,
(1895), pis. 11, 12 ; p. 145 ; Couve, Monuments Riot, III., p. 145 ;
Paris, Monuments Riot, IV., p. 73 ; Jahrbuch, 1897, p. 81; Mansell,
No. 1356. Several examples of the Diadumenos type have been

found at Delos, Bull, de Corr. Helle'nique, XIX., pi. 8; p. 484;

Sculptures of the Parthenon".

The following are the principal additions to the
Parthenon Sculptures described in vol. i. of the present

in order to complete vol. i., as originally issued.
