Collection Descriptive Notes: 
Unnamed male speaker puts Spanish tokens to one (or more) native male speakers, who provide the Maya equivalents. (The identity of the locale is derived from N.A. McQuown's note slipped into the box.)
Collection Technical Notes: 
Recording is very poor: the microphone pick-up was poor, the speed (on average) is about 5 ips and varies throughout. In digitizing, JJT manually re-adjusted the speed several times. A note inserted in the box by Norman A. McQuown reads: "Not Mopan but Yucatec! 5/5/79 NAM". He also writes "San Antonio" (circled) on the note. (Unreviewed) WAVE file is now converted to an MP3.

Collection Descriptive Notes: 
An unnamed male interviewer, speaking Spanish and Maya, elicits vocabulary and fluent conversation from three native speakers. In the last interview with the “mujer” the questioner is usually a woman, speaking Maya. (It is not clear whether it is Arzápalo who is the man interviewing the native speakers.)
Collection Technical Notes: 
Tape is the copy found among the tapes belonging to Norman McQuown, whose handwriting appears on the inside label. Four interviews have been dubbed onto this tape apparently in Germany (Arzápalo taught for a time in Cologne, Germany). WAVE file is converted to an MP3.
