The cymatium, or ogee, is the term applied to a moulding of which the section iscompounded of a concave and convex surface. There are two species of cymatium: thecyma recta, or simply, the cyma, and the cyma re versa or talon. The Roman cyma-tium is usually composed of circular arcs, which may either be equal to or less thana fourth of a circumference. Thus, in the accompanying figures, 12 and 13, the former of which represents the cyma recta, and theFig-12- Fis-13- latter the talon, let a and b be the extremi- ties of the curve, join a b and bisect
