IV. , Cap. 17. Three letters on Cortes' landing in Yucatan, edited by Fredric Midler, Amsterdam, 1871. (1) Their width being seven spans, (2) larger than a wagon's wheel, and made as if beaten out of white iron. (3) Two wheels, the one of gold and weighing 30, 000 castellanos, the other of silver, weighing 50 mark. These pieces ureas large as a millstone. 25 trees. " There arc throe expressions in this passage whicli will claim our attention. First, we learn that two classes of axes were sent o...ver, one of which Martyr recognized as a " set'M/'/6', " the other as a '•'■ dolahra^'' hence a connnon axe, and another which was like a pick or a hoe. Further on we shall give an illustration of these axes, taken from the ])ictures of the natives, when we are to recur again to this subject. Our author, in the second place, describes the two axes as of bronze, for this is the English rendei'ing of the Latin expression : durichalcea. Thirdly, we learn, that the blailes were " cunningly tempered " or " argute tem- perataP This langnage requires explanation.
