                                                                      		above this window i, or rather between it and
                                                                      		these two small windows have both had traceries now
                                                                      		removed:  I cannot tell if central shaft or not.
                                                                      		The outermost one, next the sea, has its seaward
                                                                      		or south side capital boldly projecting; and well worked
                                                                      		in leafage, evidently of the time of windows d e and f.
                                                                      		with a head similarly rude: all adapted for a tracery
                                                                      		sub shaft - now torn away: But on the other side
                                                                      		this window has a pilaster capital - run flat back
                                                                      		along jamb - vilely cut - the notched -broken edged
                                                                      		leaves again - as described in window i, no 76.
                                                                      		and while the seaward jamb is smooth & polished where
                                                                      		not decomposed, the inward jamb is all rough chiselled
                                                                      		and granulated on the rolls, like the window i.
                                                                      		The bases - if there were any - are entirely gone, replaced
                                                                      		by new plinth:  The section with flanked dentil - all
                                                                      		the same as windows below.
                                                                      		The Innermost of these two small windows, next the
                                                                      		centre ofpiazzetta facade has both its old capitals
                                                                      		left - so much of them unbroken that - on the inward
                                                                      		side, the circle of which received the shaft of for the

                                                                      		and on it, I traced the curve fig1 No 77.
