TO COIXTLAHUACA (1900) For a day we rested at Cuicatlan to make arrangements for a trip to the land of the Chochos.

We complained bitterly to the _jefe politico_ regarding the miserable animals which had been supplied us for our last journey, and demanded something better.
Frank had had enough of practical anthropology, and left us, so there were but four to be provided.

At eight o'clock the following morning, four decent horses and two pack animals were waiting at our door.

A mounted _arriero_ was in charge, to accompany us.

Although he had been inefficient on the preceding journey, the same jail-bird was sent with us, as _mozo_, whom we had had before.
