Note 58 — DESCRIPTION OF MOUNDS (continued 2)

Speaking of the boundaries of the territory of the Itzaex, Villagutierre (op. cit., p. 489), gives the sea as its eastern limit. All the tribes between the lagoon of Itza and the sea were evidently not subject to the Itzaex, however, as he mentions (Lib. IX, cap. III, p. 554) a number of tribes inhabiting this area with whom they were at war, and states (Lib. VI, Cap. IV, p. 352) that the Mopanes and Tipu Indians were not subject to the Canek of Itza.
