Horse's head, reined back; a joint on the left side. The scale and direction show that this head belonged to a chariot group on the north side.

Height, 11-1/2 inches; Michaelis, pl. 12, slab xx. (cf. p. 173).

[Sidenote: 14.]

Fragment containing a part of the neck and lower part of the mane of one of the horses of a chariot group, together with a part of the neck of a second horse. This fragment, which was discovered in the excavations on the Acropolis of 1889, must belong to a chariot group of the north frieze, perhaps to slab xi., xv., or xvi.

Height, 1 foot 3 inches.

[Sidenote: 15.]

The upper part of two hors.e.m.e.n, and part of the head or neck of a succeeding horse. The second rider, whose hand is preserved, held metal reins. The horse had a metal bridle. This fragment was formerly in the Cataio Villa, and afterwards the property of Archduke Karl of Austria. It must have belonged to the fragmentary portion of the north frieze, between slabs xxvi. and xxviii.

Height, 1 foot 3 inches; Laborde, _Athenes_, II., p. 236; Michaelis, pl. 13, xxvii.

SOUTH FRIEZE.

[Sidenote: 16.]

Helmeted head looking to the right. The lower part of the face is broken away. The helmet has a cheekpiece turned up at the side.

This head probably belongs to the horseman, No. 5, in the south frieze.

Height, 5-1/4 inches.

[Sidenote: 17.]

Foreleg of a horse from below the knee to the hoof. The direction is to the right.

Length, 7-1/2 inches.

[Sidenote: 18.]

Youthful beardless head wearing a petasos and looking to the right. The right side of the head is broken away. Michaelis engraved this head, pl. 11, slab xix., No. 48. It no doubt belongs either to that horseman, or to one of the two on the slab following (xx.), for which see Carrey's drawing.

Height, 7 inches.

[Sidenote: 19.]

Upper part of youthful male figure looking to the right; behind, horse's head. The figure wore a chiton with girdle, and, apparently, a close-fitting helmet or leather cap. Part of the shoulder of a second figure seems to be visible on the right edge of the fragment. It is not easy to find a place for this fragment among the hors.e.m.e.n of the south side. It seems more probable that the head is that of the charioteer of slab xxvi.; it agrees well with Carrey's drawing.

Height, 1 foot 4 inches; Michaelis, pl. 11, slab, xxvi.; No. 64.

[Sidenote: 20.]

Fragment of male figure, turned to the right, extending from the neck to the hip. The drapery consists only of a mantle which is seen pa.s.sing over the right shoulder and round the body. The figure appears to be that of a youth and to correspond best with one of the charioteers of the south frieze, only preserved in Carrey's drawing, Michaelis, pl. 11, slab xxvii.

Height, 1 foot 1/4 inch; Michaelis, pl. 11, slab xxiv., A.

[Sidenote: 21.]

Fragment of elderly male figure, moving to the right; from the hips to the beginning of the shoulder blades. He wears a mantle closely wrapped about him, and leaving the right arm bare. On the right of this fragment is a joint. It probably belongs to a figure in the group of old men and musicians, slabs x.x.xiv.-x.x.xvii.

Michaelis inserts it in slab x.x.xv. (No. 97 in his pl. 11), but his drawing is incorrect and the fragment cannot be adjusted there.

The only possible place seems to be on the right of slab x.x.xiv.

Height, 10 inches.

[Sidenote: 22.]

Fragment with left foot and part of drapery of figure moving to the right, and having the left foot hindmost. From the left-hand lower corner of a slab. The lowness of the relief shows that this foot belongs to one of the figures on the far side of the victims.

Michaelis combines it with his pl. 11., slab xliii., 126. This figure, which is 84 according to the Museum numbering, has now been joined to slab xli. Although the fragment does not seem to join satisfactorily to the angle of slab xli., yet this seems its probable position.

Height, 8 inches.

SOUTH OR NORTH FRIEZE.

[Sidenote: 23.]

Fragment of helmeted head looking to the right. The head is entirely destroyed except the back of the helmet and its crest.

This head perhaps belongs to one of the warriors that accompany the chariots in the north frieze.

Height, 11-1/2 inches.

ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE PARTHENON.

[Sidenote: =350.=]

The capital and uppermost drum of one of the Doric columns of the north side.

Width of abacus, 6 feet 7-1/4 inches; Penrose, _Athenian Architecture_, pl. 19, fig. 1.

[Sidenote: =351.=]

Part of a marble tile-front. The roof of the Parthenon, like that of many other Greek temples, was formed of marble tiles, _solenes_, carefully adjusted. In the case of the Parthenon the tiles were placed side by side. Ridge tiles covered the joints, and the lower end of each ridge terminated in an anthemion. Hence the tile-front was called by the Greeks _kalypter anthemotos_. See the model of the Parthenon, and Michaelis, pl. 2, fig. 8.--_Inwood Coll._

Height, 1 foot 1/2 inch.

[Sidenote: =352.=]

Cast of a similar but more perfect tile-front, from the original at Athens.

Height, 1 foot 8-1/2 inches; Michaelis, pl. 2, fig. 8; Inwood, _Erechtheion_, pl. 22.
