essay (published in the Archaeological Section of the ' Biologia 

 Central!- Americana ') were issuing from the press, I received from 

 Mr. Teobert Maler a number of photographs of sculptures and 

 inscriptions which he had recently discovered in Yucatan and the 

 country to the south of it as far as the banks of the River 

 Usumacinta. 



One of these inscriptions from Piedras Negras on the Usumacinta 

 is in a good state of preservation, and a drawing made by Miss 

 Annie Hunter from the photographic print is here reproduced (p. 70). 



As Mr. Goodman has never seen this inscription, an examination 

 of it with the help of his notes and calendar tables will be a fair test 

 of their value. 



The following signs are figured in Mr. Goodman's essay, and will 

 be found to agree fairly well with those in the inscription- 



Cycle 



Katun 



Ahau 



Chuea
