4. Yanhuitlan log-cabin. This type (Pl. XVII, D) 
is treated separately because of its possible relationship 
to the pictorial representation found in the Yanhuitlan 
Codex. Only one of these structures was found in Yan- 
huitlan, Oaxaca. The walls are made of heavy pine 
boards with interlocking corners. The roof is of mortar 
and brick. A small rectangular door with a trick locking 
device is located high on the front wall. 
5. Lowland log-cabin. Several granaries of the log- 
cabin type have been found at Zumpango del Rio, in 
central Guerrero and at Real de Guadelupe, La Parota 
and El] Anonal in the southwestern part of Guerrero. It 
is the common type of granary at Zumpango where it 
is made of zoyate palm trunks (Brahea sp.), has a palm- 
thatched roof and les close to the ground. In south- 
western Guerrero, this type is found only occasionally. 
Here it is usually built on pillars of medium height and 
with a roof supported on independent posts. 
6. Cincalli, highland crib. The present distribution 
of this granary, previously mentioned by Starr (1899) 
among the Otomi Indians, is as follows: Federal District 
(Isabel Kelly, in correspondence), southern Mexico State 
and northern Morelos at Tres Cumbres. The amount of 
maize harvested by a family determines the number and 
size of the granaries built. As the maize is consumed, 
the horizontal poles of the walls are taken down as far 
as the new level, and in this manner, by the time of the 
new harvest, the entire structure is practically torn down. 
A new structure is built each year perhaps as a preven- 
tive measure against the concentration of insects. Red- 
field (1980) gives the Nahuatl name as zincolohth, and 
Starr (1899) gives the Otomi name as cincalote.
