MISIONES. 
(MISSIONS; 27 volumes.) 
This section, like the foregoing, is technically a subdivision of Seccidn de 
Historia. It consists of documents bearing on the later seventeenth, the eight-

correspondence of the various mission authorities with the viceroys, just as 
the mission materials in the Museo Nacional consist largely of correspondence 
of the missionaries in the field with the central mission authorities. Impor-

principal subjects of direct interest to the United States treated in the section
