188 CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.327. On slab xxxi., as in the preceding, the reins and the XXXI.hestor were of bronze.Slabs xxxii.-xxxiv. are now wholly lost, except in XXXII.-Carrey's drawings. They contained two chariots, both XXXIV.at a standstill, or moving slowly, and the four lastpersons of the crowd on foot.Slabs XXXV., xxxvi,, and part of slab xxxvii. contained XXXV.-the remainder of the persons on foot.
