9. Race-types in the Ancient Sculptures and Paintings of Mezico and 
Central America. By Miss A. OC. Breton. 
The different race-types in the ancient sculptures and paintings found 
in Mexico and Central America form an important anthropological study. 
An enormous mass of material, evidently of man} periods, includes sculp- 
ture, archaic stone statuettes, the portrait statues and reliefs at Chichen 
Itza, the Palenque reliefs and the series of magnificent stele and lintels at 
Piedras Negras, Yaxchilan, Naranjo, Copan, Quirigua, etc. 
In terra cotta or clay there are the hundreds of thousands of small 
portrait heads and figurines found at Teotihuacan, Otumba, the neigh- 
bourhood of Toluca, and other ancient sites. Larger clay figures have been 
found in quantities in tombs, as in the States of Jalisco and Oaxaca ; these 
were made as offerings, instead of the sacrifice at a chief’s burial of his 
wives and servants. Small jadeite heads and figures, also found in tombs, 
show strongly marked types. If there are few specimens in gold, it is 
because throughout the country the Spaniards ransacked the tombs for 
gold. In painting there are the picture manuscripts, the frescoes at 
Chichen Itza, Chacmultun, and Teotihuacan, and a number of vases with 
figures from Guatemala and British Honduras. 
This material is now available for students in Mr. A. Maudslay’s
