APPENDIX. 227 Now, observe, first, the enormous difference in style betweenthe bases 1 to 5, and the rest in the upper row, that is to say,between the bases of Murano and the twelfth and thiiteenthcentury bases of Venice ; and, secondly, the difference betweenthe bases 16 to 20 and the rest in the lower row, that is to say,between the bases of Torcello (with those of St. Marks whichbelong to the nave, and which may therefore be supposed to bepart of the earlier church), and the later ones of the St. MarksFa9ade. Secondly : Note the fellowship between 5 and 6, one of theevidences of the early date of the Casa Falier. Thirdly: Observe the slurring of the upper roll into thecavetto, in 13, 14, and 15, and the consequent relationshipestablished between three most important buildings, the Rio-Foscari House, Terraced House, and Madonnetta House.
