The spaces in the lists indicate the positions of the pictures of persons
and curtain-like ornaments inserted here and there, as seen in Figs.

In order to explain this series, we commence with that portion of it
found in the lower division of Plate 51 (Fig. 363).

first column, 4, 5, 6; in the second, 12, 13, 1; in the third, 7, 8, 9;
and so on throughout the entire series. The interval, therefore, between
