seated in a chair, with a child standing by her side ; the upper part of 
the woman is wanting. This fragment is probably part of a sepulchral 
monument. (162.) 
No. 197. A bas-relief, imperfect, representing a charioteer driving 
four horses at full speed; a figure of Victory is flying towards him with 
a crown. (236.) 
No. 198. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing part of the body 
and legs of a boy. (109.) 
No. 199. A cinerary urn, ornamented in front with four standing 
figures ; two of these in the centre, are joining hands, the other two are 
in a pensive attitude. The names of all the figures were originally in¬ 
scribed on the urn; the first name is not legible; the Others are Philia, 
Metrodora, and Meles. (148.) 
No. 199*. A bronze urn, very richly wrought. It was found in¬ 
closed within the marble vase in which it now stands, in a tumulus on 
the road that leads from Port Pirseus to the Salaminian ferry and 
Eleusis. At the time of its discovery, this beautiful urn contained a 
quantity of burnt bones, a small vase of alabaster, and a wreath of myrtle 
in gold. (300.) 
No. 199* *. A large marble vase ; it is of an oval form, and within 
it was found the bronze um described in the preceding number. (301.) 
No. 199***. A circular votive altar, ornamented with the heads of j

named Casiniax. (91.)

" No. 203. A decree of the people of Tenos, in honour of Ammonius, 
their benefactor: this decree is directed to be engraved on marble, and j 
affixed in the temple of Neptune and Amphitrite. Strabo and Tacitus 
mention a celebrated temple that was dedicated to Neptune in this 
island, and it is highly probable that the same temple was dedicated to 
Amphitrite, as well as to Neptune. Neptune and his symbols frequently 
occur on the coins of Tenos. (231.) 
No. 204. A fragment of a bas-relief, on which are represented paid 
of the skin of an animal and the branch of a tree. (158. ) 
No. 205. Fragment of a Greek inscription, very imperfect. (178. ) j

the people of Rhegium, a town of the Bruttii, in Italy. (282.) 
No. 207. Small statue of Ganymede; part only of the eagle's claw 
remains upon the left thigh. (293.)
