[31-*] The mention of the fifteen, 5 x 3, chosen disciples indicates that the same system of initiating by triplets prevailed in Yucatan as in Chiapas (see above, p. 19). The sacred tree is not named, but presumably it was the ceiba to which I refer elsewhere. The address of Jacinto was obtained from those present, and is given at length by the Jesuit Martin del Puerto, in his _Relacion hecho al Cabildo Eclesiastico por el preposito de la Compañia de Jesus, acerca de la muerte de Jacinto Can-Ek y socios_, Dec. 26, 1761. It is published, with other documents relating to this revolt, in the Appendix to the _Diccionario Universal_, edited by Orozco y Berra, Mexico, 1856. On the prophecies of Chilan Balam, see my _Essays of an Americanist_, pp. 255-273 (Philadelphia, 1890). [31-†] Eligio Ancona, _Hist. de Yucatan_, Tom. ii, p. 452.

[32-†] The chief authority on this revolt is Juan de Torres Castillo, _Relacion de lo Sucedido en las Provincias de Nexapa, Iztepex y Villa Alta_ (Mexico, 1662). See also Cavo, _Los Tres Siglos de Mexico durante el Gobierno Español_, Tom. ii, p. 41, and a pamphlet by Christoval Manso de Contreras, _Relacion cierta y verdadera de lo que sucedio en esta Provincia de Tehuantepec_, etc. (printed at Mexico, 1661), which I know only through the notes of Dr. Berendt. Mr. H. H. Bancroft, in his very meagre account of this event, mistakingly insists that it took place in 1660. _History of Mexico_, Vol. iii, p. 164.

The name Coamizagual is translated in the account as “Flying Tigress.” I cannot assign it this sense in any dialect.
