Windows are not separately described by Vitruvius. But in the *Mānasāra* a long account of them has been given at the end of chapter XXXIII; similarly an account of stair-cases, omitted by Vitruvius, is found in the *Mānasāra* at the end of chapter XXX. No separate mention has also been made by Vitruvius of arches, to which subject an entire chapter (XLVI) has been devoted in the *Mānasāra*. Vitruvius has left out the accounts, given in the *Mānasāra*, of cars and chariots (chapter XLIII), couches (XLIV), thrones (XLV), crowns (XLIX), ornaments of the body and articles of house furniture (M. L), as well as the ornamental tree (XLVIII).
