[351-*] Forstemann (1902, p. 20) identifies this animal as a rabbit!

[352-*] This animal has been identified by Stempell as an agouti notwithstanding the hoofs and tusks.
[352-] Forstemann (1906, p. 228) suggests that this animal is a bear.
[353-*] Attention is called to the curious half-human, half-animal figure in Tro-Cortesia.n.u.s 2a which may suggest the figures in Dresden 44a, 45a and which are here identified as peccaries. Both are descending from the band of constellation signs and the heads of each are not greatly dissimilar.
[354-*] Forstemann (1906, p. 229) suggests that fig. 8 is a walrus!
[358-*] Seler (1904) gives an interesting explanation of the reason why the puma and the other corresponding figures are shown hit with a spear.
[359-*] _Relacion de la Ciudad de Merida_ (1898, p. 63): "Ay perros naturales dela tierra que no tienen pelo ninguno, y no ladran, que tienen los dientes ralos e agudos, las orejas pequenas, tiesas y levantadas--a estos engordan los yndios para comer y los tienen por gran rregalo--estos se juntan con los perros de espana y enjendran y los mestizos que dellos proceden ladran y tienen pelo y tambien los comen los yndios cano alos demas, y tambien los yndios tienen otra suerte de perros que tienen pelo pero tan poco ladran y son del mesmo tamano que los demas."
[359-] Brinton (1895, p. 72) regards these spots as representing stars.
[361-*] "Y que le sacrifica.s.sen un perro o un hombre ... porque hazian en el patio del templo un gran monton de piedras y ponian al hombre o perro que avian de sacrificiar en alguna cosa mas alta que el."
[361-] "Avian de ofrescerle perros hechos de barro con pan en las espaldas, y avian de vailar con ellos en las manos las viejas y sacrificarle un perrito que tuviesse las espaldas negras y fuesse virgen."
[361-] These might quite as well be rabbits as dogs.
[361---] "De los Indios de Cozumel dize, que aun en su tiempo eran grandes Idolatras, y usaban un bayle de su gentilidad, en el qual flechaban un perro [^q] auian de sacrificar."
[362-*] "Donde sacrificavan un perro, manchado por la color del cacao ... y ofrecianles yguanas de las azules y ciertas plumas de un paxaro."
