earlier Quiché emperors from Utatlan. For a century and a half, a period of contention between rival dynasties and tribes, we have, besides a few reported predictions of coming disaster, only one definite event, the flight of a band of Itzas under Canek, and their settlement on the islands in Lake Petea, where they were found, a most flourishing community, by the Spaniards. No definite date is given to their migration-or elopement, for a lady was at the bottom of the affair, as some say-except by Villagutierre, who places it in 8 Ahau, or between 1441 and 1461.41

Also between 1441 and 1461, Mayapan was finally ruined in the contentions of the factions, and abandoned at the death of a monarch called by some authors Mochan Xiu; the Tutul Xius then seem to have retired to Mani, which was their capital down to the Conquest.2 For twenty years after the final destruction of Mayapan the tribes are said to have remained at peace and independent of each other; but the remaining century, down to 1561, was one of almost continual inter-tribal strife, of which there is no detailed record, but which, with hurricanes, famine, deadly pestilence, and constantly recurring omens and predictions of final disaster, so desolated and depopulated the country, that the Spaniards found the Mayas but a mere wreck of what they once had been, fighting bravely, but not unitedly, against the invaders. 43

INDEX.

The Index refers alphabetically to each of the ten or twelve thousand
subjects mentioned in the five volumes of the work, with numerous cross-
references to and from such headings as are at all confused by reason of
variations in orthography or from other causes. In describing aboriginal
manners and customs, the tribes are grouped in families, and each family,
instead of each tribe, has been described separately; consequently, after
each tribal name in the Index is a reference to the pages containing a de-
scription of the family to which the tribe belongs; there is also an additional
reference to such pages as contain any 'special mention' of the tribe. For
example, information is sought about the Ahts. In the Index is found
'Ahts, tribe of Nootkas, i., 175-208; special mention, i., 177, 180-1,' etc.
All the matter relating to the Nootka family on pp. 175-208, is supposed to
apply to the Ahts as well as to the other tribes of the family, except such
differences as may be noted on pp. 177, 180-1, etc. If information is sought
respecting the burial rites or any particular custom of the Ahts, a more
direct reference to the exact pages will be found under ‘Nootkas,' where the
matter relating to that family is subdivided. The matter in the last three
chapters of vol. v. is referred to in the earlier letters of the Index by chap-
ters instead of pages. No table of abbreviations used is believed to be
needed.
