Antiquities, 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. 
The frieze at the west end of the temple origi¬

a perfect set of plaster casts preserved in this 
collection. See Room XIV. (Nos. 74—=88.)

a part of the same group.
