The marbles and casts of the Parthenon acquired in the Elgin Collection, have since been supplemented, not only by casts of sculptures newly discovered at Athens, but also by the additions of fragments, removed from Athens by occasional travellers, and acquired for the Museum by donation or purchase. The gifts include a head of a Lapith,24 from the Duke of Devonshire, and pieces of the frieze from Mr. C. R. Cockerell,25 and Mr. J. H. Smith-Barry;26 also from the Society of Dilettanti27 and the Royal Academy.28
