onding references to
members of this family. No. 4, Plate V^a, and No. 155 also correspond.

No. 4242, Plate XXII, is probably related to No. 53, Plate XXIV and its
congeners.

Nos. 14 and 34, Plate V^a, are clearly related to No. 900, Plate LIV,
Nos. 127 and 176, Plate XXIV, No. 3010, Plate LVI, and many others.

Plate III^a of Copan is evidently identically the same as the No. 75
of the Palenque Plate No. XXIV.

The right half of No. 27, Plate V^a, is the same as the right half of
Nos. 3020, 3040, and many others of Plate LVI.

No. 17, Plate V^a, is related to No. 2051, Plate LVI, and many others
like it.

The major part of No. 4105, Plate XIII, is the same as No. 124, Plate
XXIV, etc.

It is not necessary to add a greater number of examples here. The
card-catalogue which I have mentioned enables me to at once pick out all
the cases of which the above are specimens, taken just as they fell
under my eye in rapidly turning over the cards. They therefore represent
the _average_ agreement, neither more nor less. Taken together they
show that the same signs were used at Copan and at Palenque. As the same
symbols used at both places occur in like positions in regard to the
human face, etc., I conclude that not only were the same signs used at
both places, but that these signs had the same meaning; _i. e._, were
truly synonyms. In future I shall regard this as demonstrated.

In the _Congres des Americanistes, session de Luxembourg_, vol. ii, p.
283, is a report of a memoir of Dr. LEEMANS, entitled "Description de
quelques antiquites americaines conservees dans le Musee royal
neerlandais d'antiquites a Leide." On page 299 we find--

M. G.-H.-BAND, de Arnhiem, a eu la bonte de me confier quelques
antiquites provenant des anciens habitants du Yucatan et de
l'Amerique Centrale, avec autorisation d'en faire prendre des
fac-similes pour le Musee, ce qui me permet de les faire connaitre
aux membres du Congres. Elles ont ete trouvees enfouies a une
grande profondeur dans le sol, lors de la construction d'un canal,
vers la riviere Gracioza, pres de San Filippo, sur la frontiere du
Honduras britannique et de la republique de G
