P. 29, lines 1-7: "The intimate relation between the king and his American dominions necessitated a regular organized system of postal communication. As early as 1514, by a royal warrant, Dr. Galindez de Carvajal was made postmaster of the Indies, and by a subsequent order of the Council of the Indies, issued in 1524, all persons were restrained from interfering with him in the dispatch of messages concerning the affairs of the Indies. The lines of this service covered the distance between Seville and the other ports, and Madrid, as well as the distances between Spain and America. The postmaster of the Indies was an officer of the India House.... Rigorous laws enjoined all persons from intercepting and opening letters and packets. Of the amount paid for this service the postmaster was allowed one tenth part." (Moses, Spanish Rule in America, pp. 64, 65.) P. 33, note 1: For "Spain" read "Nueva España." P. 77, middle: Agias, probably meaning the clusters of fruit on the variety of pepper which is called aji (or agi) in America. P. 113, line 3: For "seventy" read "sixty-eight." P. 118, line 5 from end: For "twenty-eight" read "eighteenth." P. 223, note 73: For "pp. 108-112" read "pp. 54-61." VOLUME IV Pp. 46 and 47: These are transposed in the "make-up." P. 68, note 6: See Worcester's interesting account of the Tinguians in his "Non-Christian Tribes of Northern Luzon," p. 860; he praises their abilities, industry, eagerness to learn, and excellent traits of character, and their relatively high degree of civilization, as compared with that of their neighbors. P. 131, note 14, line 3 from end: Regarding Batachina, see VOL. XXVII, p. 105, note 39. P. 139, line 3 under "Sources:" for "original MS. documents" read "MS. copies." P. 150, line 4 from end of text: Delete "[caliph?]." P. 166: By an error in the "make-up" the last five lines on the page are misplaced; they belong at the top. P. 205, line 9 from end: For "Pablo" read "Pedro." The same correction should be made on p. 247, line 13 from end. P. 284, line 9: For "up" read "above." Note 38: The chief early authority on the islands of Mindanao and Joló, with their people, is Combés's Hist. de Mindanao y Joló, which has been used frequently in this series. His descriptions of the latter are thus located in his book: the tribes, cols. 27-44; their boats and weapons, 70-76; their customs, 61-70; their character, laws, and government, 49-61; their sects and superstitions, 44-48. Another excellent authority is Forrest, whose Voyage contains much valuable information. The best account of the history and culture of the people is that given by N. M. Saleeby, in his "Studies in Moro Law, History, and Religion," already cited by us. Cf. also late U. S. government publications on the islands, in which there is much matter regarding the Moro tribes. P. 289, last line: For "an" read "on." P. 320, line 2 from end: For "forty MSS." read "forty-one MS." VOLUME V
