[33] See especially Seler [a], ii, "Die Ausgrabungen am Orte des Haupttempels in Mexico"; [c], p. 112; Sahagun, III. i; Tratado de los Ritos, etc. (see Tobar, in Bibliography); Robelo [a], s. v.; and Charency, L'Origine de la légende d'Huitzilopochtli (Paris, 1897); cf. also infra, Ch. III, [v]. The story of Tlahuicol is given by Clavigero, V. vi.
[34] See Seler , p. 60; [c], pp. 33, 205; [d], pp. 77, 95-96; [e], index. The prayers quoted are in Sahagun, VI. i, iv, v, vi; while the famous sacrifice is described in II. v, xxiv (also by Torquemada, VII. xix and X. xiv; and picturesquely by Prescott, I. iii). The myths are in Sahagun, III. iv ff.; a version with a different list of magicians (Ihuimecatl and Toltecatl are the companions of Tezcatlipoca) is given by Ramirez, Anales de Cuauhtitlan, pp. 17-18.
[35] See Seler, indexes, and the picturesque and romantic treatment by Brasseur de Bourbourg [a], iii. The more striking early sources are Sahagun, III. iii-xv; VI. vii, xxv (quoted), xxxiv (quoted); IX. xxix; X. iii, iv; Ixtlilxochitl, Historia Chichimeca, I. i, ii; Anales de Cuauhtitlan, pp. 17-23; Mendieta, II. v; and Explicación del Codex Telleriano-Remensis (Kingsborough, v). For later discussions see Léon de Rosny, "Le Mythe de Quetzalcoatl," in Archives de la société des américanistes de France (Paris, 1878); Seler [a], iii, "Ueber die natürlichen Grundlagen mexikanischer Mythen"; , pp. 41-48 (p. 45 here quoted); and Joyce , pp. 46-51. Duplicates or analogues of Quetzalcoatl are described in Mythology of All Races, Boston, 1916, x, Ch. IX, iii, v; Ch. XI, ii (p. 243); and infra, Ch. IV, [ii]; Ch. V, [iv]; Ch. VI, [iv]; Ch. VII, [iv]; Ch. VIII, [ii].
[36] For Tlaloc see especially Seler [a], iii. 100-03; , pp. 62-67; Sahagun, I. iv, xxi; II. i, iii, xx (quoted), and Appendix, where is given the description of the curious octennial festival in which the rain-gods were honoured with a dance at which live frogs and snakes were eaten; the feast was accompanied by a fast viewed as a means of permitting the deities to resuscitate their food-creating energies, which were regarded as overworked or exhausted by their eight years' labour. See also Historia de los Mexicanos for sus Pinturas, chh. ii, vi; and Hamy . References to Chalchiuhtlicue will be found in Seler [a], index; , pp. 56-58; etc. The ritual prayer is recorded by Sahagun, VI. xxxii.
[37] Sahagun, bk. i; Seler [a], index; and Robelo [a], are guides to the analysis and grouping of the Aztec deities.

Brinton [d], [e]), where a number of deities are characterized by translations and studies of hymns preserved in a Sahagun MS. A description of the Pawnee form of the arrow sacrifice will be found in Mythology of All Races, Boston, 1916, x. 76 (with plate), and Note 58. The Aztec form is pictured in Codex Nuttall, No. 83, as is also the famous sacrificio gladiatorio (as the Spaniards called it), of which Durán, Album, gives several drawings. The sacrificio gladiatorio was apparently in some rites a first stage leading to the arrow sacrifice (see Seler [e], i. 170-73, where several figures are reproduced).
[40] Tonacatecutli is treated by Seler [d], pp. 130 ff. See also, supra, Ch. II, [iii]; infra, Ch. III, [i].

[42] Sahagun, I. vi, xii. Seler , pp. 92-100, discusses Tlazolteotl, on p. 93 giving the story of the sacrifice of the Huastec, taken from Ramirez, Anales, pp. 25-26.
