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 N ueva 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 T Orient, tom, 2, p. 194). 
Page 409. To throw more light on the researches, 
which form the object of my memoir on the Mexican 
calendar, 1 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
