| In two of the examples in New York, single apes and men squat in identical poses in alternation beneath the Corinthian volutes of the capital. |
| They share specific features, such as the sharply pointed fronds and the sinuous stalks of flowers growing out of the volutes. |
| There seems to have been no distinction in the direction of the volutes, they turning indifferently to the right or to the left. |
| The difficult transition from the end of the shaft to the volutes was evaded, and masked by anthemions or other ornaments. |
| The faces of the volutes must recede from the edge of the abacus inwards by one and a half eighteenths of that same amount. |
| In point of beauty they would rival the volutes were they not so much handicapped by their small size. |
