Abstract
THE Peabody Museum of American Archæology and Ethnology of Harvard has already rendered signal service by publishing the results of Mr. Teobert Maler's journeys and researches among the ruins of ancient Indian towns and cities on the banks of the River Usumatsintla and the adjacent region. We are now favoured with the first instalment of the account of Mr. Maler's last expedition, describing the ruins of Yaxhá, Naranjo, &c. Although the expedition commenced with the explorations of the ruins of Tikál, the records of the second part of this expedition are given first, and the account of the exploration of Tikál is to be published later. However, there is no lack of interest in this first instalment, and Mr. Maler's photographs of the sculptured monuments are as excellent as those he made of Seibal, Piedras Negras, Yaxchilan (Menché), which is saying that they are as good as it is possible to make them.
