Nos. 38**, 38***. Twoslabsof the south frieze. 
No. 39. A single slab of the frieze from the 
west end of the temple. It represents two horse¬ 
men, one of whom is riding before the other, 
and seems to be in the act of urging his com¬ 
panion to quicken his pace. The direction of 
these figures is the same as that on the north side, 
namely, from right to left. There is a pecu¬ 
liarity in the frieze of the west end, which dis¬ 
tinguishes 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 an¬ 
other, 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 in¬ 
troduced into it. 
The frieze at the west end of the temple origi¬ 
nally consisted of fifteen slabs, of which there is 
a perfect set of plaster casts preserved in this 
collection. See Room XIV. (Nos. 74—88.) 
No. 40—62. 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 appear¬ 
ance 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 ;
