Incidents of travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatán . s, too, was painted, and thered is still distinctly visible. The whole quadrangle is overgrown with trees, andinterspersed with fragments of fine sculpture, partic-ularly on the east side, and at the northeast corner is anarrow passage, which was probably a third gateway. On the right is a confused range of terraces runningoff into the forest, ornamented with deaths heads, someof which are still in position, and others lying about asthey have fallen or been thrown down. Turning north-ward, the range on the left hand continues a high,massive pyramidal structure, with trees growing out ofit to the very top. At a short distance is a detachedpyramid, tolerably perfect, marked on the plan Z, aboutfifty feet square and thirty feet high. The range con-tinues for a distance of about four hundred feet, de-creasing somewhat in height, and along this there arebut few remains of sculpture. The range of structures turns at right angles to theleft, and runs to the river, joining the other extremity. say A \ Jk
