Although 



(jy) Gomara Valades, and other authors make Tlacaxipehualiztli, the firft 

 month of the Mexican year, which in our table is the fecond. The authors of 

 the edition of the Letters of Cortes, pubHlhed at Mexico in 1780, make Ate- 

 moztU the firft, which is the i6th in our table. But Motolinia, whofe autho- 

 rity has moft weight, has put, as we do, Atlacahualco for the firft month; and 

 Torquemada, Betancourt, and Martino di Leon, a Dominican, thinks as he 

 does. To avoid troubling our readers, we omit the ftrong reafons which have 

 induced us to adopt our prefent opinion. 



(2) Cozcaquauhtli is the name of a bird which we defcribed in our firft 

 hook. Cav. Boturini puts inftead of it Temetlatl, or the fton6 ufed to grind 

 maize or cocoas.
