My suggestion as to the date of the transfer of this statue to the Heraeum, on which Mr. S. Casson comments in the last number of the Journal (p. 80), was not regarded by me as proof of the Praxitelean authorship of the work, but was merely put forward as a possible explanation of the transfer on the supposition of that authorship, which is still, I think, the general one. It is impossible here to re-open the discussion conducted in The American Journal of Archaeology in 1931, but I may perhaps point out that the fact that Pausanias, in other cases, mentions the removal of original statues to Rome raises a presumption that where he makes no such statement the original remained; and also that he says expressly that there were in the Heraeum, besides the Hermes, chryselephantine statues of Olympias and Eurydice by Leochares.
