Plate 30 of the Goupil-Boban atlas, which gave us the key tothe meaning of the figures selected to denote loads on fragment XIV(plate xix) of our collection, belongs to a manuscript Avhich is fur-nished with text and is a bill of complaint issued against CaptainJorge Ceron y Carabajal, alcalde mayor of the town of Chalco,brought before the Real Audiencia of Mexico in the year 1564.
