Pl. LXXXVI, No. 1, 2, 3. Four round chapels are added at the  
extremities of the two principal axes;--compare this plan with fig.  
1
on p. 44 and fig. 3 on p. 47 (W. P. 5b) where the outer wall is  
octagonal.  
Group II.  
Domes rising from a square base.  
The plan is a square surrounded by a colonnade, and the dome seems  
to be octagonal.  
Pl. LXXXIV. The square plan below the circular building No. 8, and  
its elevation to the left, above the plan: here the ground-plan is  
square, the upper storey octagonal. A further development of this  
type is shown in two sketches C. A. 3a (not reproduced here), and in  
Pl. LXXXVI, No. 5 (which possibly belongs to No. 7 on Pl. LXXXIV).  
Pl, LXXXV, No. 4, and p. 45, Fig. 3, a Greek cross, repeated p. 45,  
Fig. 3, is another development of the square central plan.  
The remainder of these studies show two different systems; in the  
first the dome rises from a square plan,--in the second from an  
octagonal base.
