We are surprised to find, among nations of the same 

 race, names of a character so different. The terms of 

 Mox, Igh, Tox, Baz, Hix, and Chic, do not seem to 

 belong to America, but to that part of Eastern Asia, 

 which is inhabited by nations, whose languages are 

 monosyllabic. (See vol. xiii, p. 313, and Boturini., 

 Idea, de una Historia general de Nueva Espanna, p. 

 118.) We shall on this occasion observe, that the 

 Chinese termination tsin is found in a great number of 

 Mexican proper names ; for instance, in Tonantsin, 

 Acamapitsin, Coanacotsin, Cuitlahuatsin, and Tzila- 

 catsin. 



According to the learned researches of Mr. Klaproth, 

 the Ouigours, or Uighurs, never inhabited the banks 

 of the Selinga, as Mr. Langles admits ; but the moun- 

 tains Ulugh-tagh, the banks of the Ssir, which is the 

 Jaxartes of the Ancients, and the steppe of the Kara- 

 Kun, to the east of the lake Aral (See vol. xiii, p. 306, 

 and Hammer, Mines de l'Orient, torn. 2, p. 194). 



Page 409- To throw more light on the researches, 

 which form the object of my memoir on the Mexican 

 calendar, I shall here insert the very judicious obser- 

 vations, that have been communicated to me by Mr. 

 Jomard. The name of this distinguished gentleman 

 is well known to those, who study the antiquities of
