234 CENTRAL AMERICAN PICTURE-WRITING. 
resemblances of Plate XXIV and of the Palenque cross.tablet and their 
meanings will be considered further on. 
Returning to Plate LXII, the symbols of the roof and cornice refer to 
these two divinities. The faces at the ends of the cornice, with the 
double lines for eye and mouth, are unmistakable TLALOC signs. The 
association of the two gods in one temple, as at Mexico, is a strong cor- 
roboration. 
Let us now take Plate LXI, Fig. 58, which represents HurrziLo- 
POCHTLI, or rather, the Yucatec equivalent of this Aztee god. I shall 
refer to him by the Aztec appelation, but I shall in future write it in 
italics; and in general the Yucatee equivalents of Aztec personages in 
italics, and the Aztec names in small capitals. 
Compare Fig. 52 and the Plate LXI (Fig. 58). As the two plates are 
before the reader, I need only point out the main resemblances, and, what 
is more important, the differences. 
The sandals, the belt, its front pendant, the bracelets, the neck orna- 
ment, the helmet, should be examined. The four hands of Fig. 52 are 
not in LXI, nor the parrots; but if we refer to KInGSBorouGH, Vol. I, 
Plates 6 and 7 of the LAuD manuscript, we shall find figures of Hurr- 
ZILOPOCH'TLI with a parrot, and of TLALOO with the stork with a fish in 
its mouth, as in the head-dress here. The prostrate figure of Fig. 52 is 
here led by a chain. At Labphak (BANCROFT, Vol. iv., p. 251), he is held 
aloft in the air, and he is on what may be a sacrificial yoke. The Tlaloc 
eagle is in the head of the staff carried in the hand. This eagle is found 
in the second line trom the bottom of Fig. 52, we may remark in pass- 
ing. Notice also the crescent moon in the ornament back of the shoul- 
ders of the personage of Fig. 58. The twisted cords which form the 
bottom of this ornament are in the hieroglyph No. 37, Plate XXIV 
(Fig. 60). 
Turning now to Plate LX (Fig. 59). 
This I take to be the sorcerer Tlaloc. He is blowing the wind from 
his mouth; he has the-eagle in his head-dress, the jaw with grinders, 
the peculiar eye, the four TLALOC dots over his ear and on it, the snake 
between his legs, curved in the form of a yoke (this is known to be a ser- 
pent by the conventional crotalus signs of jaw and rattles on it in nine 
places), the four TLALOc dots again in his head-dress, ete. He has a 
leopard skin on his back (the tiger was the earth in Mexico) and his 
naked feet have peculiar anklets which should be noticed. 
Although Iam deferring the examination of the hieroglyphs to a later 
section, the chiffre 3201 should be noticed. It is the TLALOC eye again, 
and 3203 is the chiffre of the Mexican gods of hell. 
In passing I may just refer the reader to p. 164, Vol. ii, of STEPHENS’ 
book on Yucatan, where a figure occurring at Labphax is given. This 
I take to be the same as Huitzilopochtli of Plate LXI. Also in the 
MS. Yroano, published by BRASSEUR DE BoURBOURG, a figure in 
Plate XXV and in other plates sits on a hieroglyph like 3201, and is
