provisions previously gathered, they
were conquered, and every man, woman
and child was killed. The legend saws
these people came from the vicinity Of
the S-e1t lakes, and the few bronze in
PIGMENTS discovered seem to give some
truth 10 that part Of the story.
Il is supposed that these people were
the ancestors Of the Mexican Aztecs. and
that that portion which escap ped when the
tribe divided wandered toward the south
west and entered Mexico from the north.
At the time Of the conquest Of Mexico bv
COrrez the Aztecs cIaimed that thev

was the national religion.
