» See the first two paragraphs of footnote a, table 16. Dubious conquest 

 or doubtful pueblo identification is discussed in the notes which accompany 

 map 14; numbered notes in the table refer to the comments appended to that 

 map. Braces apply only to the column in which they are placed. 



b The difference in date between Torquemada (1: 158) and other sources 



with respect to the war with the Chalcas of Tlalmanalco is explicable on the 

 basis of distinct campaigns (footnotes 3, 11, 17, 35, map 14). Torquemada 

 (1: 164) gives another date, calculated at 1458, which presumably applies to 

 the definitive surrender. 



place about 1459; but it would appear that this 

 applies, not to the Huasteca, but to a pueblo on 

 the southern Gulf coast. 37 



37 Unfortunately the term "Cuextlan" is ambiguous, for which 

 reason Torquemada's conquest is not included in map 14. 



The old sources generally use "Cuextlan" as synonymous with 

 the Huasteca. However, on the southern Gulf coast, a pueblo 

 later conquered by the Triple Alliance bears the name of 

 "Cuextlan" (Tezozomoc, p. 131, and footnote 2, pp. 145-146). 



Indirect confirmation of the existence of this southerly pueblo 

 is found in Ixtlilxochitl (2: 202), who reports a Texcocan cam- 

 paign directed against "Cuexteca que es Panuco." But, with one 

 exception, the identified pueblos which were conquered in the 

 course of this war lie far to the south, in southern Puebla 

 and adjacent Veracruz. And it cannot be a matter of chance that, 

 along with his "Cuextlan" conquest, Torquemada (1: 164) enu- 

 merates five of the precise pueblos listed by Ixtlilxochitl (map 

 14, Nos. 68, 69, 71, 72, 73), as well as two more, one in north- 



Tezozomoc (pp. 116, 119) gives indirect evi- 

 dence which would place the Huastecan war some- 

 what earlier. According to him, Huastecan 

 prisoners were sacrificed during the fifteenth year 

 of the reign of Moctezuma, which would be 145-4. 



west Oaxaca and another in central Puebla (map 14, Nos. 70, 74). 

 It seems likely that both authors are using sources which refer 

 to a campaign directed against the "Cuextlan" of the southern 

 Gulf coast ; but since the name more frequently is associated 

 with the Huasteca, Ixtlilxochitl erroneously identifies this south- 

 erly "Cuexteca" with Pdnuco. 



To add to the confusion, in certain instances "Cuextla" evi- 

 dently is synonymous with Cotaxtla (see footnote 18, map 15) ; 

 yet the latter is not to be identified with the somewhat hypo- 

 thetical pueblo mentioned above, for Tezozomoc (p. 130—131), 

 twice mentions "Cuetlaxtlan" and "Cuextlan," in the same 

 phrase.
