knives and weapons (at page 95, &c., and in the Appendix) are more ample than any previously given. 3. The treatment of the Mexican Numerals (at page 108) is partly new. 4. The proofs of the highly probable sophistication of the document in the Library at Paris, relative to Mexican eclipses, have not previously been advanced (see Appendix). 5. The notices of objects of Mexican art, &c., in the chapter on Antiquities, and elsewhere (including the Appendix), are for the most part new to the public. 6. The remarks on the connection between pure Mexican art and that of Central America, in the chapter on Xochicalco, are in great part new. 7. The singular native bridge at Tezcuco (page 153) is another novelty. The order in which places and things were visited is shewn in the annexed Itinerary, or sketch of the journeys and excursions described. ITINERARY: Journey 1. Cuba. Havana. Batabano. Isles of Pines.
