the Parthenon, and of nearly the same proportions room xv. 
as the torso of Neptune, from the ‘;ame pediment antiquities. 
(No. 64). This fragment consists of a portion only 
of the chest of the goddess, which is covered, as 
usual, with the aegis. The angles of the aegis ap¬ 
pear to have been ornamented with bronze serpents, 
and the centre of it to have been studded with a 
head of Medusa, of the same metal; the holes in 
which these ornaments were fastened to the marble 
are plainly visible. The upper part of the head 
of this statue is still preserved in the collection.

No. 76. The torso of a male figure, supposed to 
be that of Cecrops, the founder of Athens. It is 
from the west pediment of the Parthenon. 
No. 77. A group of two goddesses, probably in¬ 
tended to represent Ceres and her daughter Proser¬ 
pine ; the latter is leaning on the right shoulder of 
her mother. They are sitting on low seats, which 
are perfectly alike in their construction, both of 
them being furnished with cushions, and orna¬ 
mented with mouldings of a similar style. This 
group was in the east pediment of the Parthenon. 
No. 78. A small figure of Telesphorus, com¬ 
pletely enveloped in a cloak; it wants the head.

the metopes of the Parthenon.
