    caryatid
    karatid, kartid , a sculptured female figure serving as an ornamental support in
    place of a column or pilaster. It was a frequently used motif in architecture,
    furniture, and garden sculpture during the Renaissance, the 18th cent., and
    notably, the classic revival of the 19th cent., when caryatids were popular as
    mantelpiece supports. The motif appeared in Egyptian and Greek architecture; the
    most celebrated example extant is the Porch of the Caryatids, forming part of
    the Erechtheum. Here six beautifully sculptured figures, acting as columns,
    support an entablature on their heads. Caryatids were used also in two small
    treasuries (6th cent. B.C.) at Delphi. Male supporting figures are called
    atlantes.
    atlantes
    atlantz [Latin plural of Atlas], sculptured male figures serving as supports of
    entablatures, in place of a column or pier. The earliest (c.480-460 B.C.) and
    most important example from antiquity is in the Greek temple of Zeus at
    Agrigento, Sicily. The baroque architecture of the 17th cent. made considerable
    use of atlantes, as did the classical revival in the early 19th cent. Female
    supporting figures are called caryatids.

English texts on livebearers
With a view to the approaching symposium on livebearers, abstracts of the lectures in English will 
be added successively, if and when the consents of the authors come in. They are to be found in the right 'tree', following 'Tandkarpers' (which means tooth carps in Dutch). If anyone feel he or she is harmed in their copyrights, please inform me and I will remove the offensive material. You can contact me by way of my email address, which is at the bottom of every page.
