Note VI-19 — Chapter VI · ANTIQUITIES OF TABASCO AND CHIAPAS, RUINS OF PALENQUE.

The plan is reduced from Waldeck, pl. vii. Ground plans are also given in Stephens, vol. ii., p. 310, copied in Willson's Amer. Hist., p. 75; Dupaix, pl. xi.; Kingsborough, vol. iv., pl. xiii.; and in Del Rio, Descrip., the latter being only a rough imperfect sketch. It is understood that a large portion of the outer and southern walls have fallen, so that the visitors differ somewhat in their location of doorways and some other unimportant details. Stephens' plan makes the whole number of exterior doorways 50 instead of 40, and many doorways in the fallen walls he does not attempt to locate. I give the preference to Waldeck simply on account of his superior facilities.
