181. Antonio Rodriguez de Quezada took possession of the Presidency of
Guatemala Jan. 14, 1554, and retained it till his death in November,
1558; he was succeeded by Pedro Ramirez. (Comp. Juarros, I, p. 255, with
Bancroft, _Hist. Cent. Am._, II, p. 358, who says 1555.)

181.[TN-32] "There was but little between them," _Xa [c]a halal qui cohol
ahauh_; this expression is not clear. There appears to be considerable
vagueness in the writer's chronology in this passage.

"He did not condemn any one, because he had no time," _Mani xuban ru
[t]atbaltzih, mani xyaloh_; an ignorant statement, since he held the
Presidency about four years.

The reading of the last sentence is doubtful.

182. Vico was killed in the summer of 1555.

184. The expedition against the Lacandons took place early in 1559.
