discussion of Taj in therapy, which will appear in 

 Part 2. 



Originally, we planned to include all of material 

 culture in the first part. However, because of bulk, 

 it appeared advisable to reserve the treatment of 

 clothing and several other aspects of material cul- 

 ture for the companion volume (Part 2). The 

 latter also will cover nonmaterial culture, although 

 it is hoped that folk tales and our detailed account 

 of the Negrito dance may be put on record through 

 student publications; the first, by Roberto Wil- 

 liams Garcia, the second, by Angel Palerm. The 

 psychological tests mentioned previously are 

 being prepared for publication by Carmen Vi- 

 queira, an advanced student in psychology at the 

 Universidad Nacional de Mexico. 



In the spelling of modern pueblo names, we 

 have followed the 1930 Federal census. Some- 

 times, for special reasons, the orthography of the 

 sources has been retained ; in such cases, the name 

 appears in quotation marks. Names of extinct 

 pueblos are so treated, likewise pueblo names no 

 longer current, even though the town still may 

 exist, under a different designation. For example, 

 "Jicotepec" is the former name of modern Villa 

 Juarez. The two exceptions are the famous old 



centers of Tlatelolco and Tenochtitlan ; both ap- 

 pear without quotation marks and Tenochtitlan, 

 without accent. 



Spanish words and hispanicized terms of Mexi- 

 cano or Nahuatl origin appear in italics, with ex- 

 ception of such well-known words as pueblo, 

 arroyo, milpa, tortilla, atole, patio, machete, and 

 so on. Totonac words are not italicized. 3

3 We profess neither skill nor training in recording native 

 terms. In general, vowels have Spanish values ; this applies to 

 i, e, a, o, and u. An open e occurs but was not distinguished con- 

 sistently, hence has not been differentiated in the text. The 

 symbols o and a represent vowel values found respectively In 

 our "saw" and "but." Others include: $, pronounced ta; c, ch; 

 s, sh; j, as in Spanish joro'bado; I, sonant I; t, surd I; \, tl; k, 

 m, n, p, s, and t, as in English ; q, hack palatal k; n, as in Span- 

 ish candn; w, as in English "weather" ; y, as in English "year." 



A period above the line indicates lengthening ; a reverse apos- 

 trophe ('), aspiration 



The glottal stop is represented by a hook ('), which consists 

 of a question mark without the basal point. Since there is a 

 slight difference in the form of the interrogation point in the 6- 

 and 10-point type used in the present paper, the corresponding 

 symbols for the glottal stop are not quite identical. They are, 

 nevertheless, readily recognizable. The glottal stop is promi- 

 nent in Totonac and often is carried over into Spanish, espe- 

 cially by children. Thus, if one asks a youngster a question, the 

 reply may be "No'," or "Si?."
