Male figure, seated on a chair, with left hand on left knee, and right hand by right thigh. The head and right hand are wanting. The figure wears a chiton with sleeves and a mantle which passes under the right arm, while the ends cross the left shoulder in contrary directions. The fine folds of the upper part of the chiton are indicated.--_Sacred Way, Branchidae._ Parian marble; height, 4 feet 2 inches. [Sidenote: =16.=] Female figure, seated on a chair, with hands on her knees. The head and feet are wanting. The figure wears a sleeved chiton with a diploïdion and a veil. The sleeves terminate with long folds. The veil falls down over the shoulders, in numerous folds. In attempting to indicate the legs with greater detail than his predecessors, the artist has rendered them as if they were nude; but in naturalness and freedom this statue is conspicuously the most advanced of the series.--_Sacred Way, Branchidae._ Parian marble; height, 4 feet.

[Sidenote: =17.=] Lion, recumbent, with right fore-paw passing in front of the body, and with left paw laid over it. The hind quarters are half turned over, the animal lying on the right haunch. The head is wanting. The mane is rendered by stiff pointed locks of hair of conventional form. The pose, however, of the animal shows careful study of nature. On the flank is the inscription: [Illustration] 1.
