the twenty-seventh of May, 1690,1 he issued his royal cedula which
ordered that His Excellency the Conde de Galve should put this work
of conversion (estas conversions) into the charge of the religious
of San Francisco, that some should go from the College of the Holy
Cross of Queretaro, and that, in order not to burden the royal treas-
ury, there should be discussed and sought out some ways of meeting
the expenses.2 In another royal cedula of the twelfth of November,
1692, His Majesty ordered that a new exploration be made, by sea
and land.8
For the land expedition Don Domingo Teran de los Rios was com-
missioned, being appointed governor of Coaguila and Texas, with a
salary of two thousand and five hundred pesos a year, and being
given the proper instructions. He took in his company fifty sol-

adds, "which was approved afterward in royal cddula of the thirtieth of
December, 1692, ordering that the said conversions be continued with all

legos, may mean "fourteen Franciscan religious [who were] priests, and
seven lay-brothers besides. The Testimonio makes the same enumeration
