The antiquities figured by me were found for the greatest part in the island of _Zapatera_, the rock-carvings in the islet of _Ceiba_ close to Zapatera, only some few ceramic objects are from the island of _Ometepec_. All these localities are contained within the territory occupied by the Niquirans, and on this account may probably be considered as specimens of _Aztec_ art, or of an art very closely related to this. Those few statues that I have seen in the neighbourhood of _Granada_ and in _Las Isletas_ immediately off Granada, as well as the statues and high-reliefs in the little volcanic island of _Momotombito_ in Lake Managua, the former belonging probably to los _Dirianos_, the latter to los _Nagrandanos_, appear to me to be much more rudely executed, without any attempt to copy the human body; whereas many of the statues of _Zapatera_ testify to a pretty accurate study of the human body, often presenting faithfully elaborated muscle portions etc., so as to make it probable that the Niquiran artists used models. There certainly are found rather fantastic figures even among these statues, but in general their originators prove to be artists of a more realistic conception, and at the same time of more developed technics than the Chorotegan artists. From the monuments etc. found farther northwards at _Copan_, _Quiriguá_, _Uxmal_, _Palenque_, and other places in Central America, the works here described differ most considerably, indeed so much that it is not easy to point out more than a few common artistic features.
