The history, architecture, and antiquities of the cathedral church of StCanice, Kilkenny . bands; fig. 4, a section and planof the same—all drawn to a scaleof one inch to a foot. Fig. 5 re-presents a section of the arch andhood-mold ; and fig. 6, a section ofthe mold of the small shallow qua-trefoil panel with which the tympa-num is ornamented : both of thesesections are to a scale of half an inch to a foot. The annexed engraving is from a drawing of the floral enrich -ment of the arch-mold; it was quite undercut, as the section,fig. 5, already given, shows. This example is from the apexof the arch, all the others have been broken away, but theirplaces of attachment may be traced still. As in the case ofthe other doorways, the internal arch does not conform tothe external, the former being flat and segmental; its arrisesare simply chamfered. Having thus brought the architectural description of the cathedral to a close,a few observations on the present state of the fabric, and the feasibility of athorough restoration, may be allowed, ere we proceed to a survey of the round.
