190 CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.327. from the original fragment at Athens. In slab xxxviii.the cow's right horn must have been carved in the round,only the tip being attached to the background of the96. relief. In slab xlii., No. 96 has both hands raised to hishead, as if adjusting a wreath. Compare the north frieze,No. 25. What was the number of cattle in this part ofthe frieze cannot now be ascertained, but there is evidencethat there were at least nine, and more probably ten.Michaelis {Arch. Zdt., 1885, p. 57), in placing xlii. afterxl., makes the right hand seen on the leftof xlii. to be91. the hand of No. 91 ( = Michaelis, No. 115), and the portionof a cow's belly seen between 90 and 91 to be part of thecow on the left of xlii. It is to be noticed that the hindlegs of this cow have been altogether omitted.There is a curious inequality in the depths of the reliefin this part of the frieze. Slabs xxxix., xl. are workedmore in the round than the remaining groups with cattle.100, 101. The fragment with the two heads, Nos. 100 and 101,may be, as Michaelis suggests, a part of the corner slab102. xliv., the two parts at present numbered as 101, 102being different parts of the same figure. The positionsof the head and the foot appear to agree. On the otherhand, the surfaces of the two fragments have weatheredvery differently.On the return face of slab xliv. is the marshal, whoforms the fi.rst figure of the east frieze, and makes a connectionbetween the two sides, by looking back, as if tothe advancing procession.In the following conspectus of publications of the frieze, only theMuseum Marbles and the work of llichaelis, and the photographic reproductionsare referred to in detail. For a fuller list of early publicationsthe reader is referred to the work of Michaelis.
