GREEK GALLERIES. 
No. 233. The capital of a Corinthian column. (308*.) 
No. 234. A fragment of a Greek inscription; it is too imperfect 
to admit of a full explanation, but it seems to have been in honour of 
a person who had distinguished himself on some occasion by great 
humanity. (170.) 
No. 235. A fragment of a decree made by a society which is 
distinguished by a number of epithets, among which are two derived 
from the names of Hadrian and Antoninus. The Society appears to 
have been formed of musicians, and the decree to have been passed 
in honour of Bacchus and the Emperor Antoninus Pius. A patera is 
represented on the upper part of this marble. (161.) 
No. 236. A sepulchral inscription, in six elegiac verses, to a young 
man of the name of Plutarchus, who died in Ausonia, at a distance 
from his native country. (242.) 
No. 237. A Greek inscription, imperfect. (287.) 
No. 238. An amphora. (215.) 
No. 239. An unknown female head, the hair of which is con¬ 
cealed within a close head-dress. (122.) 
No. 240. A fragment of an unknown female head. (255. 
No. 241. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing an unknown 
female head: from the style of the hair, which is curiously plaited, 
we mav fix the sculpture to about the time of Antoninus Pius. 
(123.)' 
No. 242. A head of the bearded Hercules. (120.) 
No. 243. A head of the bearded Hercules, similar to the last, but 
of larger dimensions. (117.)

No. 245. A female torso, covered with drapery. (296.) 
No. 246. A large head. (263.)

larger than life, and is crowned with a verv thick cord-shaped diadem. 
(119.) 
No. 248. The head of a middle-aged man, with a conical bonnet; 
it appears to have had very little beard, and is most probably the head 
of a mariner. (116.) 
No. 249. A fragment of a head, crowned with vine leaves; it ap¬ 
pears to have been executed at a declining period of the arts. (121.) 
No. 250. An unknown female head, the hair of which is confined 
within a close elegantlv-formed cap. The same style of head-dress is 
observable on some of the silver coins of Corinth. (114.) 
No. 251. The head of a laughing figure, executed in the early 
hard iEginetan style of sculpture. (115.) 
No. 252—255. Four pieces of the frieze from the temple of 
Erechtheus at Athens; they are enriched with flowers and other 
ornaments, which are designed with the most perfect taste, and are 
chiselled with a degree of sharpness and precision truly admirable. 
(127—130.) 
No. 256. The base on which a statue has stood; the feet, which 
still remain, are very wide apart, and shew that the figure must 
have been in powerful action; they are presumed to be the feet, of 
Minerva, from the west pediment of the Parthenon. See No. 102.
