each side of the middle walk, in a hne with the southern 

 terrace walls. The larger of them was constructed by M. 

 Durenne, and was designed by Klagman, a French artist, 

 from whose designs many of the iron and bronze castings 

 shown by M. Durenne in the Exhibition were executed. It 

 was intended for a much more extensive position than coukl 



be given to it in the Garden. As it was, the outer basin, which 

 (to corresf)ond with the dimensions of the gigantic sea-horses 

 disporting themselves in it) should have been a small lake, 

 was cabined, cribbed, and confined witliin the smaUest possible 

 dimensions, so as to be symmetrical with its neighbour and kept 

 within the space which could be afforded it. The spirited 

 colossal sea-horses and the elaborate richness of the figures 

 forming the central group have been much admired.
