Euz {Fr. Joaquin) — continued. 
" Father Joaquin Euz was born in Merida, 1772, and died in 1855. Accustomed 
from cliildliood to tbe Maya tongue, he became the most fertile author who 
has yet appeared in it. His style has, however, been severely criticised by 
- almost all competent scholars as imjiressing on the native language grammatical 
forms, turns of expression, and compounds, foreign to its history and character. 
Euz was well aware that he was making these innovations, but claimed they 
were called for in order to elevate and develop the j^owers of the Maya. Dr. 
Berendt succeeded in obtaining a complete set of his works, the only one, I 
believe, which can now be found. For a full discussion of his labors, see Car- 
rillo, Hist.de la Leng. Maya, ^ XVII." — Brinton.

3449 Sahagiin (Fr. Bernardino de). [Manuscript in the Mexican lau- 
guage.] * 
In the note to the above title, from the Ramirez Sale Catalogue, mention is 
made of four leaves signed Don Martin Enriquez, etc. These sheets, formerly 
belonging to Sr. Eamirez, passed into the hands of Sr. Alfredo Chavero, who de- 
scribes them as follows in his work on Sahaguu, pp. 98-101, a copy of which has 
come into my possession since the main catalogue was put in type: "Among the 
fragments of the manuscripts in Mexican which, more by way of curiosity than for 
any other reason, I preserve, there exist four leaves in octavo in the handwriting 
of Sahaguu, or at least the same as that of the E vangelios, Doctrina, apostillas del 
Sermonario and first folio of the Trilingiie. It has as a heading the following 
title: 'Izcalquj ynjunemjliz ynteujutica omonamjtique' — 'lujece Cap." vucaa 
mjtoa etc' The chapter extends over two leaves, and at the end of the second 
another commences with this rubric : ' luje. 6 Cap." etc' On the next leaf at the 
end is ' Inje 7 Cap." etc' Finally the last leaf has the following paragraph with- 
out a caption, which is important to our question: 'Para que libremente pueda
