36 PALEtfQITE. 



The fifth building, like the third, contains a single chamber ; only a small part of 

 one wall is left standing. 



The other mounds shown in the Plan were not sufficiently explored to necessitate 

 a detailed description. If any of them have formerly supported buildings, they are so 

 far ruined that a ground-plan could be traced only after removing a large quantity 

 of debris. 



On the N.E. corner of the Plan is a bridge spanning the stream (a, Plate XCL). 

 The water passes through a small tunnel with a vaulted stone roof of the usual 

 construction. 



Pottery. (Plate XCL, b.) 



Three pots taken from tombs are shown in this photograph. The small pottery 

 figure on the left was found inside the pot next to it, associated with some fragments 

 of bone. 



Plates XCII. and XCIII. 



On Plate XCII. is given the Initial Series or Date from five Inscriptions at Palenque, 

 in the same way as those found at Copan were given on Plate XXXI. (Vol. I.). In 

 the Copan series only the first six glyphs were figured, as the value of the month sign 

 was not then fully appreciated. In Plate XCII. the month glyph is in each case 

 added. 



According to Mr. Goodman's Tables the dates would read as follows : — 



Temple of the Temple of Temple of Inscribed Temple of 



Foliated Cross. the Sun. the Cross. Steps. Inscriptions.
