Note.—With Stela 16 commences the writer’s nomenclature, running through Stela 25, and from Altars and 
Fragments A’ to Z’ inclusive. Galindo gives Altar H’ the number 17, and mentions Altar I’, without, however, 
giving it any name. 
1S$tephens (1841, vol. 1, p. 152) says: “Toward the south [i7. ¢., north from his Statue T, Stela I], at a distance of 
fifty feet is a mass of fallen sculpture with an altar marked R on the map, and at ninety feet distance is the statue 
marked Q [Stela F].” It is clear from this position that under R, Stephens is referring to one of the three Altars G. 
2As already stated on page 279, note 3, Stephens, through a mistake in his field-notes, incorrectly calls the 
figure on the north side of Stela N a separate monument, 7. ¢., his Statue D, which he locates as just south of Stela 
M. (See Stephens, 1841, vol. 1, map facing p. 133.) 
3Meye’s map is so inaccurate that it is impossible to tell whether he refers to Stela 1 or Stela 2 as his fallen 
monolith P. 
4Stephens incorrectly states in the legend on his map (09. cit., vol. 1, facing p. 133) that this monument, 
Stela 4, is standing; but he corrects this error in his text (ibid., p. 157). 
5The missing numbers and letters in the Galindo, Stephens, and Meye nomenclatures refer to general archi- 
tectural features or to sculptures having no inscriptions.
