of these figures is the same as that on the north side., 
namely, from right to left. (39.) 
There is a peculiarity in the frieze of the west end, 
which distinguishes it from that on the north and south 
sides of the temple. The subjects represented on the 
slabs of those two sides run one into another, that is, what 
was left imperfect in one slab is completed in the next; 
whereas in the west end the subjects are nearly complete 
on each piece of marble. The western frieze is likewise 
distinguished from those of the two sides of the temple, by 
the comparatively few figures introduced into it. 
Nos. 48—61. Fourteen plaster casts, composing the 
remainder of the frieze at the west end of the temple. 
(A. 75-88.) 
Nos. 62—90. That portion of the same frieze which 
enriched the south side of the temple. It represents a 
procession of victims, charioteers, and horsemen, and is 
very similar, in its general character and appearance, to 
the frieze on the opposite or north side. With respect to 
the victims, we do not possess any that were on the north 
side of the temple; but that they formed a part of the 
procession on that side, as well as on the south, cannot be 
doubted, since Stuart, in his celebrated work on Athens, 
has engraved a fragment of one of them. The figure 
sculptured at the end of No. 90, (on the right of the en¬ 
trance,) belongs to the eastern portion of the frieze. No. 
62 was presented by R. C. Cockerell, Esq. (40*, 
41, 41*, 38**, 46, 50, 47, 52, 40, 42, 49, 45, 48, 43, 
44, 51, 38***, 53, 54, 56, 55, 15*, 57, 59, 61, 60, 58, 
96, 62.) 
The sculptures which follow, from 91 to 106, are from 
the pediments of the Parthenon. Nos. 91 to 98 are from 
the eastern pediment, on which was represented the birth 
of Minerva. Nos. 99 to 106 are from the western pedi¬ 
ment, on which was represented the contest between 
Minerva and Neptune for the honour of giving name to 
the city of Athens. These sculptures are placed in the 
order in which they originally stood in the building. 
No. 91. The upper part of the figure of Hyperion 
rising out of the sea. His arms are stretched forward, in 
the act of holding the reins of his coursers. This figure,
