E. Ancona, Historia de Yucatan, Vol. I., page 34. Mérida, 1879.—“The word Chacnovitan or Chacnouitan first appeared in the Maya MSS. or series of Maya epochs. Upon examining this document, and observing that the tribe wandered from Tulapan to Chacnouitan and later to Bakhalal and from there to Chichen-Itza, etc., it will be understood that the name in question was given to no other portion of our peninsula than to that which lies at the south. Brasseur de Bourbourg supposes, and we think not without reason, that Chacnouitan lay between Bakhalal and Acallan, s. e. of the Laguna de los Terminos.—See Brasseur de Bourbourg, Archives de la comission scientifica, Tomo. I, page 422, note 2.”
