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.

PLATE XVIII. IONIC INTERCOLUMNIATION WITH ARCH, This modification of the Ionic has 11^ moduli betweencenters of cohimns. Three of these are for the pilaster and8^ for arch opening, whose height is double its width, or17 moduli. These proportions can only be departed from under ex-traordinary circumstances. See Plate II. for details. This Intercolumniation is most easily calculated next to the Tuscan; the arrangement of the dentils not requiringso precise a location as that of the triglyph of the DoricOrder nor that of the Corinthian modillion. The pilaster projects \ modulus each side of the column,and its cap is 19 parts high. The depth of the arch is \modulus, and the distance from the top of arch opening to the entablature is 1 modulus.
