LYCIAN ROOM. 
The Sculptures in this Room consist of the remains of ancient cities 
in Lycia, one of the south-west provinces of Asia Minor, inhabited by 
a mixed population of an aboriginal race called Solymi and Termilse, 
and by the Greeks, who had colonised it at an early period before the 
epoch of the Trojan war. These monuments were removed from 
that country by two expeditions undertaken by her Majesty’s govern¬ 
ment in the years 1842—184G, under the directions of Sir C. Fellows, 
by whom the greater part of them were discovered. They consist of 
sculptured remains, ranging in date from the subjugation of the country 
by the Persians, b.c. 545, to the period of the Byzantine Empire. 
With them are exhibited some plaster casts of certain other sculptures, 
of which the removal was not found practicable, but of which facsimiles 
were necessary as illustrations of the history of art, and as documents 
for the study of a language and written character found in Lycia, and 
apparently peculiar to that part of Asia Minor. 
No. 1. Bas-reliefs from the so-called Harpy tomb, which stood on 
the acropolis of Xanthus, close to the Theatre. The sculptures, as will 
be seen by the model plae d near it, decorated the four sides of a 
rectangular solid shaft, about seventeen feet high, weighing eighty 
tons, and supported a roof with a moulding, inclosing a chamber seven 
feet six inches square, entered by a small low door on the west side. 
This monument was never finished, the projection for raising the shaft 
still remaining, and the shaft having been polished only half way up. 
Its base was shaken, probably by one of those earthquakes by which 
the country is known to have been visited, and two of the slabs on the 
western side thrown on the ground. Various conjectural explanations 
of the sculptures have been proposed. The scene on the west side
