rather rare in Europe. which Cortez, how
ever, knew, and was ast0nished to find in
Mexico City.
The three kinds of zigzag fret in the
sunkcn cross at Guironi are not in mo-
sale. as at Militia. but are carved in in
taglio In the stones. Prof Saville is of
the opinion that the incised part was
left the natural color Of the stone, but
that the rest was covered with fine
coat of white cement. over which was
spread an equally thin coat of red paint.
The flooring OF the cross is Of that fine
hard. white cement which has excited
SO much admiration in the palaces of
Militia. This seems to be like the chu-
nam flooring used today in Hindostan.

Prof. Saville found that the cross occu-
pied the northeastern end of great ce-
nent-paved plaza, upon which are various
mounds one OF them with five terraces.
From his plan of the ground it would ap-
pear that the ancient people Of the sunken
cross OF Guroni possessed strong sense
OF the value OF breadth to produce striking
effects. Yet in spite Of the dignity of the
plaza Of Guironi it could only have been a
side show to Militia itself, which must have
been Of vastly greater Importance.

carried the trail up the second slope to

out the cross which had been Intention

This cross is twenty-eight feet In total

mansions, with the exception of the west
ern limb, which is only half the width OF
the others. Xaaga is difficult to see. In
the FIRST place It is private property. A
Mexican gentleman with an eye for the
picturesque determined to build his haci-
enda or country seat upon large mound,
so that the green. grassy slope should be
in front of his door.
In sinking the foundations for the house
the workmen came upon the sepulchre, or
tomb, as they called it. The entrance was
found upon the western side, and they
tunnelcd a passage through the western
side of the mould. &aaga is unlike Nit
la and Guironi in this. that the walls are
composed of small slabs. each one covered
with a variation of the zigzag fret. 1t is
a singular fact. but the cross of Xaaga
presents an epitome of every kind of fret
used at Militia. The latter is in a peculiar
mosaic, cut in trachyte. whereas the con-
struction stones are of sands ones. At
Guironi the ornamentation is cut in intag-
lilo. but at Xaaga it is cut in relief.
