Antiquities. 
No. 40— 6%. A portion of the same frieze, 
namely, that portion 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 frag¬ 
ment of one of them. 
No. 63. A group of two of the Fates, from the 
east pediment of the Parthenon, on which was 
represented the birth of Minerva. Another figure 
in this collection, (No. 67)> is supposed to have 
been one of the Fates, and to have formed a part of 
the same group. 
No. 64. The upper part of the torso of Neptune, 
one of the principal figures in the west pediment of 
the Parthenon. The subject of the sculptures 
represented on this pediment, w'as the contest 
between Minerva and Neptune for the honour 
of giving name to the city of Athens. 
No. 65. The upper part of the figure of Hype¬ 
rion rising out of the sea. His arms are stretched 
forward, in the act of holding the reins of his 
coursers. This figure, which represents the ap¬ 
proach of day, is from the east pediment of the 
Parthenon, where it occupied the angle on the left 
of the spectator. 
No. 66.
