Abstract
IN 1891 the Directors of the Peabody Museum secured from the Government of Honduras (through the liberality of Mr. C. Bowditch, of Boston) the right to explore the ruins of Copan, and to take away half of the objects found in the excavations, during a period of ten years. The preliminary report of the exploration,1 now published by the Directors of the Museum, gives the result of the first two years' work, and is accompanied by a plan and many excellent photographic plates.
