THE GOD VIRACOCHA AND HIS TWO SONS IMAYMANA AND TOCAPO. 
Some few years ago after having. read count Goblet d’ Alviella’s. 
The Migration of Symbols. and Gimenez de ta Espada’s. Tyres 
velaciones de Antigtiedades Peruanas (Madrid 1879), I wrote out 
a study on the Peruvian Symbols in which I largely used the 
the curious plate facing p. 257 of the latter work. I there traced 
those curious Symbols (called in the plate /Jmaymana, and figured 
thus, fig. 2) from the far East to México, thence through Pert to our 
Calchaqui valleys in Catamarca, Salta and Tucumdan. To me they | 
seemed to be conventional Symbols of a Sacred Language, and the 
legend which accompanied them read thus: 7he Eyes, ouv Germ- 
buds of All—things (Imaymana). . 
This year Mr. Payne kindly sent me his Avstory of America, and 
as I read it my attention was calledto Sir Clements R. Markham’s 
Rites and Laws of the Incas, in which, among other things, he 
publishes an English version of Father Christoval Molina’s treatise on 
the fables and rites ofthe Incas. [ there came across the curious 
account of the Aymara Trinity of Uiracochas (Gods), Aticci, 
Imaymana and Tocapo. Hawing prepared an extract of this 
fragment of mythology for oar Geographical Institute in Bue- 
nos Aires, 1 added a long explanatory note, which I here rewrite 
in English for the benefit of those who may be fortunate enough 
to possess the Hakluyt Society’s volume referred to, but cannot 
read my original note in Spanish. 
After reading Molina’s account the first thing which strikes us 
is that he describes two new divinities, not hitherto known to us 
in the Peruvian mythology, to which he gives the names of /may- 
mana Viracocha and Tocapo Viracocha, emanations or attributes of 
the great Creator-God. We there also learn that this God is called 
Aticci, and not Tic¢i, Viracocha.
