Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, Vol. 24: Held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful Knowledge; January to December, 1887 Unfortunately, it appears simply as an appendix to the Spanish translation of M. Leon de Rosny's work on the hieratic writing of Central America, and is issued to the limited number of 200 copies, all large folio. It is therefore both difficult to obtain and needlessly expensive. Moreover, the editor, for fear of "distracting the reader," as he tells us, pointed out only a few of the differences between the correct text and that printed by Brasseur, so that the real value of the second edition of the text is not apparent until a long and toilsome comparison has been made. The leading position which Landa's Relacion holds with reference to the ancient Maya civilization has led me to examine his words with care, and the notes I have made will, I believe, prove of value to those who are engaged in the study of this remarkable people. I shall arrange these notes in three portions, as they refer to the two texts now printed, to the Abbe Brasseur's translation with its notes, and to the hieroglyphic signs, etc., inserted in the text. The d104. In Brasseur's edition the text is divided into numbered sections, each with an appropriate heading. No such arrangement is in the original. What is more objectionable, many of the paragraphs and even sections as arranged by Brasseur are entirely arbitrary, and do not correspond at all with the paragraphing of the original. Sometimes they begin in the midst of a phrase, cutting it in two, and destroying its meaning. He omits, without a word, fully one-sixth of the whole text. In his edition, p. 346, he concludes with the words, aqui acaba la obra de Landa, "here closes the work of Landa." No such words are in the original. On the contrary, the MS. he copied from continued with a number of chapters, one on the reason why the Indians offered human sacrifices, others on the serpents, animals, trees, etc., of Yucatan. Of these Brasseur says not a syllable. In copying he occasionally, but rarely, omitted sentences, doubtless through haste. An instance of this occurs, p. 328, where three lines of the original are dropped immediately after the word escalera, terminating the sentence.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, Vol. 61: Held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful Knowledge, Volume LXI, 1922 It may be remarked parenthetically that I do not consider Aphle biae as indicative of heat, but humidity. That Ginkgo is not a tropical type, but appears to be hardy throughout the Temperate Zone, and does not flourish under cultivation in the Tropics. That Cycads and Conifers are not good criteria for either moist or sub-tropical cli mates, but quite the reverse. That Gleichenia and its present-day segregates, although commonly found in the Equatorial Zone at the present time, are not limited to the tropical part Of that zone, but are frequently more at home in the Sub-tropical or temperate altitudinal zones in Equatorial uplands, as in Hawaii, the Eastern Andes, etc. Doubtless terrestrial plants are better indices of climate than are other organisms, and they are admittedly more important in this respect than marine forms of life. Plant fossils have this merit aside from any question of botanical identification, and this feature seems to have been lost sight of by numerous critics Of paleobotanical prae tise: that the size and form of leaves, their texture, the arrangement and character of their stomata, and the seasonal changes in wood, afford criteria that are quite as valuable climatically even though the species or genus to which they belong remains undetermined. With out venturing further on the sea Of words that constitutes the elusive generalities of most discussions of past climates, I propose to contrast the Tertiary Arctic flora with that which existed contempora neously in lower latitudes, after which I will suggest a possible explanation to account for the observed facts.
