statement this chronicler compiles his narrative. While less satisfactory, Landa presents several points of value. Herrera's chapters on Yucatan are brief, and in relating the usages and modes of life prevalent among the Mayas during the period preceding the conquest, he furnishes some very interesting material. The most complete of modern accounts is Ancona's, Hist. Yuc., i., but it lacks in critique. More interesting, if less exhaustive, is that of Fancourt, Hist. Yuc., who accuses Stephens, Travels in Yuc., i., of following too closely the text of Cogolludo, while he himself reveals several shortcomings.
