[XXXIII‑9] Salcedo, Carta, in Soc. Mex. Geog., Boletin, 2da ép., i. 225-6. I reproduce here 'A Map of a part of Yucatan, or of that part of the Eastern shore within the Bay of Honduras allotted to Great Britain for the Cutting of Log-wood, in consequence of the Convention. Signed with Spain on the 14th July 1786. By a Bay-Man.'
[XXXIII‑10] On his way to Mérida from Bacalar Figueroa was seized with illness and died. On the 10th of August 1733 Lara, Apunt. Hist., affirms that at the demands of the English government Figueroa was reprehended by the crown for this attack, which so mortified him as to cause his death. This version is accepted by Sierra in his Ojeada sobre Belice, and also by Peniche, in Soc. Mex. Geog., Boletin, 2da ép., i. 226-7, but as these statements are mentioned by no other authority and are discredited by Ancona, Hist. Yuc., ii. 419-21, I am disposed to reject them.

[XXXIII‑15] 'Y Su Magestad Católica no permitirá que los vasallos de Su Magestad Británica ó sus trabajadores sean inquietados ó molestados con cualquiera pretexto que sea en dichos parajes, en su occupacion de cortar, cargar y trasportar el palo de tinte ó de campeche; y para este efecto podrán fabricar sin impedimento y occupar sin interrupcion las casas y almacenes que necesitaren para sí y para sus familias y efectos.'

[XXXIII‑17] Anderson, Hist. Commerce, iv. 47, quotes the London Gazette of this date, in which it is stated that the English government had received a duplicate of an order censuring the government of Yucatan.
[XXXIII‑18] Peniche, in Soc. Mex. Geog., Boletin, 2da ép., i. 240-3; Ancona, Hist. Yuc., ii. 269-73. Squier, States Cent. Am., 577-8, erroneously attributes this attack to the prevalence of 'smuggling and other illicit practices' among the wood-cutters, making no mention of the fact that England and Spain were then at war.
