edifice to be hexastyle ; for in peripteral temples the number of 
intercoluraniations on the flanks should, according to this author, 
be only double those of the front. That there were twelve columns, 
however, appeared evident on the first inspection, from the existing 
number of capitals lying on one of the sides of the temple ; and on 
adding two spaces, and the diameters of two columns to the length 
of the aedes (or body of the temple), which is, as we have stated from 
actual measurement, a hundred and sixty-nine English feet, and 
comparing this measurement with that of twelve columns and eleven 
spaces, the first number given was two hundred and five, and the 
latter two hundred and four, which result was quite near enough 
to be conclusive of the fact. In this calculation we have taken the 
diameter of the columns, as they measured within an inch or two, at 
six feet ; and supposed the intercolumniation to be systyle, that is 
two diameters of the columns. The same calculation applies equally 
to the breadth of the temple, which would seem to prove that the 
intercolumniation assumed was correct, — six columns and five spaces 
giving ninety-six, — and the breadth of the mdes, with two spaces, and 
the diameters of two columns added, ninety-seven ; bringing the 
results within one of each other, as in the instance just given with 
regard to the length. Traces are still remaining of a pronaos and 
posticus; but one of the walls of the pronaos (the oidy one re- 
maining) has a very decided return of two feet (at its central 
extremity) in the direction of the cella. The depth of the posticus 
is at the same time much greater than that of the pronaos, and 
rather more than half as much as that of the cella : this distribution
