Besides these classes of documents there are sections called Archivo (con- 
taining records of the internal administration of the archive), Estadistica, 
containing penal and judicial statistics for the Federal District and the terri- 
tories, and Legislacién. The last section extends from 1821 to date, and 
consists of printed circulars and decrees relative to the department. The 
collection is very complete and valuable. This archive contains, it is said, 
the completest file of the Diario Oficial in the Republic. 
The archive is exceptionally well systematized and administered. 
ARCHIVO GENERAL DE NOTARIAS. 
(GENERAL ARCHIVE OF NOTARIAL OFFICES.) 
This archive was created by the act of Dec. 19, 1901, which provided for 
gathering at a central place the old records of the various notarial offices of 
the Federal District. Some of the records are said to date from the Spanish 
Conquest. Among them the writer has found recorded titles to lands in 
Texas for the Mexican period. Presumably similar documents for other 
parts of the Southwest are preserved there. 
REGISTRO PUBLICO DE LA PROPIEDAD Y DE COMERCIO. 
(PUBLIC REGISTER OF PROPERTY AND OF COMMERCE. ) 
Here are registered concessions relative to railroads of the Republic, con- 
cessions to foreign commercial corporations which have offices in the Re- 
public, and commercial affairs of the Federal District.
