The two statues belonging to the Cypriote cOllec-
ton of the Metropolitan Museum of Art whose
genuine character has been most frequently called
into question have been taken out of their glass
cases and placed IN the centre of the grand hall,
under a strong light, for pubic inspection The two
statues are Aphrpdite and Eros ana the figure hold
ing a horned head. OF the former 1t has been alleged
and "one of the most patched up of the
collection" OF the latter a printed criticism
states that it is built up # several fragments be-
longing to different statues Of various Sizes and
that 1.-THE bust is n fragment of statue and the
lower part of the body from the breast down is
