arrangement of S. Sepolcro at Milan.  
MS. B. 57b (see the sketch reproduced on p.51). By adding towers in  
the four outer angles to the last named plan, we obtain a plan which  
bears the general features of Bramante's plans for S. Peter's at

p. 51 Fig. 1.)  
Group IV.

This system, developed according to two different schemes, has given  
rise to two classes with many varieties.

In b) The chapels are dissimilar; those which terminate the

the diagonal sides of the octagon.
