[43-*] See Dr. Seler's minute description in the _Compte Rendu_ of the
Eighth Session of the Congres International des Americanistes, pp. 588,
589. In one of the conjuration formulas given by de la Serna (_Manual de
Ministros_, p. 212) the priest says: "Yo soy el sacerdote, el dios
_Quetzalcoatl_, que se bajara al infierno, y subire a lo superior, y
hasta los nueve infiernos." This writer, who was very competent in the
Nahuatl, translates the name Quetzalcoatl by "culebra con cresta"
(_id._, p. 171), an unusual, but perhaps a correct rendering.
