Note 1094 — Chapter III · (continued 2)

It is the development of a paper given at the Nancy session of the Congrès des Américanistes (1875). Landa’s alphabet with the variations make 262 of the 700 signs which Rosny catalogues. He printed his “Nouvelles Recherches pour l’interpretation des caractères de l’Amérique Centrale” in the Archives, etc., iii. 118. There is a paper on Rosny’s studies by De la Rada in the Compte-rendu of the Copenhagen session (p. 355) of the Congrès des Américanistes. Rosny’s Documents écrits de l’antiquité Américaine (Paris, 1882), from the Mémoires de la Société d’Ethnographie (1881), covers his researches in Spain and Portugal for material illustrative of the pre-Columbian history of America. Cf. also his “Les sources de l’histoire anté columbienne du nouveau monde,” in the Mémoires de la Soc. d’Ethnographie (1877). For the titles in full of Rosny’s linguistic studies, see Pilling’s Proof-sheets, p. 663.
