In the present volume but one document appears in the chronological order of events in the islands; it is short, and is mainly concerned with the eccle siastical disputes which had been only partly quieted with the death of Archbishop Pardo. The rest of the volume is occupied by an ethnological appendix, which presents the observations of early missionary writers - Jesuit, Augustinian, and Franciscan - on the native peoples and their customs and beliefs. Due allowance being made for their ecclesiastical standpoint, these writers may be considered excel lent authority Ou this subject - especially Combés, who was one of the Jesuit pioneers in Mindanao.
