[10-2] I have collected this evidence, drawing largely from the manuscript works on the Arawack language left by the Moravian missionary, the Rev. Theodore Schultz, and published it in a monograph, entitled: _The Arawack Language of Guiana in its Linguistic and Ethnological Relations_. (_Transactions of the American Philosophical Society_, 1871.) There was a province in Cuba named _Maiye_; see Nicolas Fort y Roldan, _Cuba Indígena_, pp. 112, 167 (Madrid, 1881). According to Fort, this meant "origin and beginning," in the ancient language of Cuba; but there is little doubt but that it presents the Arawack negative prefix _ma_ (which happens to be the same in the Maya) and may be a form of _majùjun_, not wet, dry.

[12-2] _Diccionario Maya-Español del Convento de Motul._ MS. _Sub voce, ichech._ The manuscript dictionaries which I use will be described in the last section of this Introduction. The example given is:-- "ICHECH; tu eres, en lengua de Campeche; _ichex_, vosotros seis; _in en_, yo soy; _in on_, nosotros somos. De aqui sale en lengua de Maya, _tech cech ichech e_, tu que eres por ahi quien quiera," etc. [13-1] See Eligio Ancona, _Hist. de Yucatan_, Tom. I, p. 37. [13-2] "MAYA (accento en la primera); nombre proprio de esta tierra de Yucatan." _Diccionario de Motul_, MS. "Una provincia que llamavan de la _Maya_, de la qual la lengua de Yucatan se llama _Mayathan_." Diego de Landa, _Relacion de las Cosas de Yucatan_, p. 14. "Esta tierra de Yucatan, à quien los naturales llaman _Ma´ya_," Cogolludo, _Historia de Yucatan_, Lib. IV, Cap. III. "El antiguo Reyno de Maya ò Mayapan que hoy se llama Yucatan." Villagutierre, _Historia de el Itza y de el Lacandon_, p. 25. The numerous MSS. of the Books of Chilan Balam are also decisive on this point. [14-1] _Nombres Geograficos en Lengua Maya_, folio, MS. in my collection. [15-1] Note to Landa, _Rel. de las Cosas de Yucatan_, p. 14. [15-2] _Vocabulaire Maya-Francais-Espagnole_, _sub voce_, MAYA. [15-3] _Hist. de Yucatan_, p. 37. [19-1] A discussion of the items of the census of 1862 may be found in the work of the Licentiate Apolinar Garcia y Garcia, _Historia de la Guerra de Castas de Yucatan_, Tomo I, Prologo, pp. lxvii, et seq. (Merida 1865.) The completion of this meritorious work was unfortunately prevented by the war. The author was born near Chan Ɔenote, Yucatan, in 1837, and was appointed _Juez de Letras_ at Izamal in 1864. [20-1] See, for example, _El Toro de Sinkeuel, Leyenda Hipica_ (Merida, 1856), a political satire, said to be directed against General Ampudia, by Manuel Garcia. [20-2] D. G.
