By kind permission of Commander Down, R.N., of Wokmgham, Berks, I am allowed to publish an archaic head (Fig. 1) in his possession. It was found by him in Athens when cruising in Greek waters about the year 1879.
The head, which has been broken off abruptly at the neck, is 13 m. in height, 105 m. in depth, and 315 m. in circumference. The material is a rather coarse-grained white marble. The face has unfortunately suffered considerably: the lower part of the nose has been broken off and the surface of the mouth and chin is damaged, and there is a deep indentation over the left eye.
