the originals of a part, at least, of Demezibres's well-known Cartas,
which are copied in Memorias, volume 28. Though it would be vain
to guess where any large portion of the originals of the Memorias
are, it may safely be said that very probably numbers of them are
to be found in the various branches of the Archivo General, while
many others are scattered about the Republic in private and public
collections.
As bearing upon the second question, I may say that of the Texas
materials thus far examined, outside of Memorias, those in volumes
84, 100, 153, 161, 162, 287, and 320 of Secci6n de Historia are
mainly original, while this is true of parts of 72 and 93. And the
Texas material in Secci6n de Provincias Internas is more largely
original than that in Historia. This is the character of the major
portion of the volumes of this section that I have examined in
detail.
A brief description will now be given of the principal materials
on Texas found in the fifteen volumes of Secci6n de Historia.
Further consideration of Secci6n de Provincias Internas will be
reserved for another paper. Full titles of individual documents
and other data that might be of interest for purposes of reference
are given in the list which constitues the second part of this paper.'
It is difficult to make a comprehensive and helpful classification
of the materials these volumes contain, either on the basis of sub-
ject-matter or of chronology; hence in the main it will be neces-
sary to describe them volume by volume. A rough grouping, how-
ever, may be made as follows: materials on San Antonio de Bejar
or on Texas as a whole, in volumes 82, 84, 93, 153, 287; on Pilar
de Bucareli, in 93 and 100; on San Saba, in 84; on invasions of
Texas (1809-1819), in 161 and 162; on the Texas-Louisiana bound-
ary, in 298, 299, 301, 302, 325; and on Espiritu Santo or Goliad
(1821-1835), in 320.
In volume 72 two documents relate to Texas. The first2 is an
extract from the writings of Fray Antonio Pichardo, of the orato-
rio of the convent of San Felipe Neri, Mexico, treating of the
limits of Texas and Louisiana. The other3 is an interesting his-
