Note 27 — PART I

From a letter from the representative in Mexico of the Smithsonian Institute, who adds: “My belief is that the Mayas used the Spear, the Net, and the Bow and Arrow. That is all I can give you at present: should anything else turn up, I will let you know.” In A Study of Maya Art, an elaborate work by Herbert J. Spinder (Peabody Museum Memoirs, Harvard University, 1913), I have failed to find any fishing scenes or any ancient fishing implements depicted.
