To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

They represent evi- dently a chorus of priests and priestesses.
Figures a and b show front and side views of a musician beating a turtle-shell with an antler of a deer, as many southern tribes of Mexico were wont to do. The facial decoration may represent a cray-fish. A small shell is fastened to the right armlet. . The hair has been formed into a queue that begins in the front of the head, is wound around the head, and kept in place by having the end adjusted under the queue in front. Around t
...he queue is wound a ribbon, the end of which lies backward along the top of the head.
In several of the rest of the figures of this group (Plate II., c, and Plate III., b, c, and d) similar queues are found. But the queue is here made from the back of the head, and there are no indications of hair on the rest of the head, as in Plate I., a and d, where a profu- sion of hair is indicated. Perhaps we may take this latter as the most perfect type, and, disregarding the others, deduce that the hair was shaved h la chinoise.
