(Murray, Journal of JR. Inst, of Brit. Architects, 3rd ser.,
x., p. 33). The cast was added in 1903.

West Side.—Slab ix. See above, North Side, slab
xxxiv.

South Side.—A further rearrangement of the slabs of
cattle has been made, and the order now stands:—xli.,
joined by xt jit., No. 84 (= Michaelis, No. 126); xxxix.,
which may join xliii. ; xl., which joins xxxix.; xlii.,
which seems to follow xl., though the state of the relief
on the right of xl. prevents certainty ; xxxviii., which
may follow xlii.; xliii., Nos. 100, 101 (= Michaelis, 127,
128), and xliv., the corner slab, of which xliii. may be a
part. The present arrangement coincides with that
proposed by Michaelis, Arch. Zeit., 1885, p. 57 (cf. Berlin.
Philol. Wochenschrift, 1892, p. 1172). This arrangement
suits the conditions as to space. It also suits the composi-
tion, since it places the cows with most action in the
middle of the series, according to the general rule of the
frieze (Murray, Sculptures of the Parthenon, plate 13).

2734. Slab of the cornice that surmounted the frieze of the
Parthenon, with a hawk's-bill and other mouldings.
There are traces of colour on the under surfaces of the
hawk's bill.

Pentelic marble. Length, 4 feet; height, 1 foot li inches. The
stone is complete, with a joint at each end. The painted frag-
ments, Nos. 357, 358, are a part of the same member. Penrose,
Athenian Architecture, pi. 20, fig. 27a.

2735. Ionic angle capital of the temple of Nike Apteros on
the Athenian Acropolis. (For the temple, cf. vol. i.,
p. 239.) The capital is an angle capital, having the
volutes on two adjacent sides. In the eye of the volute
is a small stud hole, perhaps intended for the insertion of
