FRANCISCO XIMENEZ. "Crónica de la Provincia de Chiapas y Guatemala,"--of which part of the 7th book is at the "Museo Nacional" of Guatemala. "Historia de la Provincia de predicadores de San Vicente de Chiapas y Guatemala." Written about 1720,--and possibly the same work as the above.--According to Brasseur de Bourbourg, 3 volumes which did not suit or fit together and were the remnants of two MSS. copies of the original, existed at the University of Guatemala in 1855. TORIBIO COSIO. "Relacion histórica de la Sublevacion y Pacificacion de la Provincia de los Tzendales." (May still exist at Mexico.) FRANCISCO VASQUEZ. "Crónica de la Provincia del Ill'mo Nombre de Jesús, del Orden de San Francisco de Guatemala."--Guatemala, 1714 and 1716, 2 vols.--The library of Guatemala ("Museo Nacional") still contains an anonymous MS. of 13 Leaves, "Notas y Advertencias" to the above work.--Whether the "Crónica" itself is at Guatemala, I am unable to say. The book is very scarce. Mr. Squier owned the first volume only. Anonymous. "Relacion de la Sublevacion de los Zendales, en el año de 1712." MS. Perhaps still at the city of Guatemala. RAMON DE ORDOÑEZ Y AGUIAR. "Historia de la Creacion del Cielo y de la Tierra, conforme al sistema de la gentilidad americana." MS. at the "Museo Nacional" of the city of Mexico.--Very important for the traditions of Chiapas. "Memoria relativa á las ruinas de Nachán, en las inmediaciones del pueblo de Santo Domingo del Palenque." MS. formerly belonged to Brasseur de Bourbourg. It was written about 1784, and is the first authentic report on the celebrated ruins. D. NÁXERA. "Vida portentosa del V. P. Fr. Antonio Margil de Jesús." México, 1753. H. VILAPLANA. "Vida portentosa del americano septentrional apóstol Antonio Margil de Jesús...." México, 1763. (Margil was one of the earliest missionaries in Chiapas.) _Documents relative to the explorations of Palenque._ Besides the "Memoria" of Ordoñez already quoted, which first directed attention to the ruined pueblo, there exist the following documents: JOSÉ DE ESTACHERIA. "Expediente sobre el descubrimiento de una gran Ciudad en la provincia de Chiapas, distrito de Guatemala." 28 Nov. 1784. (Archives of the royal Academy, at Madrid).--It is directed to the lieutenant "Alcalde mayor" of Chiapas, at S^{to} Domingo del Palenque, directing him to survey the ruins. JOSEF ANTONIO CALDERON.
