holds in his hand.  Passing from this, the visitor may next direct his attention to the fragment of a colossal statue numbered 178.  It belongs to one of the pediments of the Parthenon.  Hereabouts are various sepulchral urns and columns of no particular interest to the casual observer;—­the circular altar from Delos, ornamented in relief with sacrificial bulls and other subjects. 179 may, however, be noticed, together with the column marked 183, which bears the name of Socrates, son of Socrates, a native of Ancyra, of Galatia.  The object marked 186 is a Greek sun-dial found at Athens, of a time not long before the reign of the Emperor Severus.  Passing other altars and fragments of columns, the visitor should pause on his way, to notice a bas-relief upon which Latona and Diana are sculptured, forming part of a procession (190).  The bas-relief numbered 193 is from the theatre of Bacchus:  it is a Bacchanalian group, in which Bacchus is holding forth a vessel to be filled by an attending Bacchante.  The next object to be noticed is marked 194, and is a fragment of a head of the goddess Pasht, surmounted with a crown of serpents.  A spirited scene occurs upon bas-relief 197, where a charioteer, heralded by a flying Victory, is represented driving four horses at full speed.  A series of urns and votive altars are grouped hereabouts, which the casual visitor may pass, pausing before the small statue of Ganymede (207); a fragment of a boy supporting a bird on his arm (221); a small figure of Telesphorus, headless, and draped; more sepulchral urns and steles; capitals of Corinthian and Ionic columns; various inscriptions, including a decree of a society of musicians (235); an amphora (238); a female head; a large and small head of a bearded Hercules (243-242); heads and fragments of heads; the base of a statue supposed to have been that of the Minerva of the western pediment of the Parthenon; urns and columns, and stales and inscriptions; a bas-relief showing Health, the daughter of AEsculapius, feeding a serpent; two more bas-reliefs; an inventory of the articles of gold and silver belonging to the Parthenon (282); steles, inscriptions, and columns; fragments of colossal statues, a small statue (headless) of a Muse, 316; fragments of figures from the metopes of the Parthenon; a sculptured oblong vessel, found near the plain of Troy, for containing holy water (324); a mutilated colossal head supposed to represent Nemesis, found in the temple of Nemesis, at Rhamnus (325); a mutilated female statue found also at Rhamnus, in the temple of Themis; fragments of colossal statues, steles, inscriptions, and altars.  And hereabouts the visitor should pause once more to examine a consecutive series of sculptures.  These are marked from 352 to 360.  They are casts from the monument of Lysicrates, erected to celebrate a musical contest about three centuries and a half before our era.  This monument is commonly known as the

Lantern of Demosthenes.
