No. 7. This ruin is the most striking and perfect of all those in the
plain of Elis; it principally consists of an octagonal chamber 91 feet 9
inches in diameter, having four large openings or door-ways; the remaining
four sides are ornamented with circular niches. This part of the building

Nos. 8 and 9 are the ruins of habitations; little more now remains than

No. 10. This ruin presents a very picturesque outline; it is situate in
the middle of the plain, and has several masses, some of them 20 feet high.
No. II. This ruin appears to have been of considerable extent; several
of its parts are perfect, from which it seems to have been finished with
great care.
Nos. \% 13, 14. Of these little can be traced but the foundations.
