                                                                      	The 20th.  With animals heads Daged.  By far the loveliest
                                                                      of this series:  Its breast leaves are wavy and varied
                                                                      and studied from nature:  Under the fox is a flower
                                                                      of heavy blossomed grass;  esquisitely finished, and
                                                                      under the weasel, the stem of the leaf is  twisted and
                                                                      its edge laid most strangely and lightly over the flat
                                                                      fill[e]t something as opp:  Conf  Palace p 18.

                                                                      and more classical i.e. less natural:  The heads are fine;
                                                                      the best of the series:  but evidently modern.  It is a

                                                                              1.	Latini:  in a Beatrice Cenci cap, and loose hair
                                                                              2.  Tartari:  in a cap with knob  at top and loose hair.
                                                                              3.  Turchi:  in the pointed cap worn by Arion.
                                                                              4.  Ongari:  in conical cap:  a fine head.
                                                                              5.  Greci:  Injured.
                                                                              6.  Goti, a little heavy and German;  in Arion’s cap with its
