I do not include in this hasty bibliographical list any linguistical works whatever,--or writings on the plants and medicinal herbs of Spanish-America. Purposely I omit also Antonio de Solis, whose history of the conquest of Mexico has a great literary, but hardly any scientific, value.
JUAN DE VILLAGUTIERRE Y SOTOMAYOR. "Historia de la Conquista y Reducciones de los Itzaes y Lacandones en la América Septentrional." Madrid, 1701. The first part only, composed of 10 books,--the second part may not have been completed,--at least it has remained unknown till now. The work is of the highest importance, especially for that part of Yucatan which has since hardly been explored.
