Reading edition
Waldeck, Voyage Pittoresque dans l’Yucatan, pp. 37, 74, etc. (Paris, 1838.) This writer recognized the tapir snout on various masks and statues at Palenque, and adds that he found the animal still venerated by the natives. Dr. Seler does not mention Waldeck’s remarks, but extends the identification to the figures in the codices. Zeitschrift für Ethnologie, 1888.
