direction of these figures is the same as that on the Antiquities. 
north side, namely, from right to left. (39.) 
There is a peculiarity in the frieze of the west end, 
which distinguishes 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 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. 
No. 48—61. Fourteen plaster casts,, composing the 
remainder of the frieze at the west end of the temple. 
(A. 75—88.) 
No. 62 —90. That portion of the same frieze 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 appearance, 
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; but that they formed 
a part of the procession on that side, as well as on the 
south, cannot be doubted, since Stuart, in his celebrated 
work on Athens, has engraved a fragment of one of 
them. The figure sculptured at the end of No. 90, (on 
the right of the entrance,) belongs to the eastern por¬ 
tion of the frieze. No. 62 was presented by R. C. 
Cockerell, Esq. (40% 41, 41*, 38**, 46, 50, 47, 52, 
40, 42 , 49, 45, 48, 43, 44, 51, 38***, 53, 54, 56, 55, 
15*, 57, 59, 61, 60, 58, 96, 62.) 
The sculptures which follow, from 91 to 106, are 
from the pediments of the Parthenon. Nos. 91 to 98 
are from the eastern pediment, on which was repre¬ 
sented the birth of Minerva. Nos. 99 to 106 are from 
the western pediment, on which was represented the 
contest between Minerva and Neptune for the honour
