A Spanish version was published in 1854 in 2d ser., v. 1 (p. 225-374) of "Documentos para la historia de México", under the title "Diario y derrotero que siguió el M. R. P. Fr. Francisco Garces en su viaje hecho desde octubre de 1775 hasta 17 de setiembre de 1776."  The present translation was made from a ms. copy differing considerably from the printed text and now preserved in the library of the Bureau of American ethnology.  cf. Introd.
