PLATE XVI. THE IONIC CAPITAL AND ENTABLATURE. The capital is 15 parts higli^ and comprises the fillet andbead^ which, in the other orders, belong to the column.The capital is outlined by two perpendiculars, each 1 mod-ulus from the center of the shaft, which pass through thecenters of the eyes of the volutes. The total height of thevolute is 16 parts, — 8 over the eye, 2 of the eye, and 6under the eye. Vignola gives the Tonic entablature a height of 4^ moduli,which is \ the altitude of the column, with base and capital.The ratio of altitude of the three members of the entabla-ture is 5 to 6 to 7. The architrave is 1^ moduli high, andprojects 5 parts. The frieze is 1^ moduli high, and is orna-mented with griffins, candelabra, arabesque, etc. The cor-nice is If moduli high, and projects 1 modulus and 13 parts.The proportions of the mouldings may be learned from theplate.

PLATE XVII. SIMPLE IONIC INTERCOLUMNIATION. In this modification of the Ionic we divide the totalheight into 5 parts^ — 4 for the column^ with base andcapital^ and 1 for the entablature. The column, with base and capital, is 18 moduli high.The base is 1 modulus high, the shaft 161, and the capitalI modulus high. The entablature is divided in proportions of 5, 6, and 7,1\ moduli for the architrave, 1\ moduli for the frieze, andIf moduli for the cornice. The distance between columns is 4;- moduli, and 6^ mod-uli between centers. For the details, see previous plates.
