344 AIDS TO THE STUDY OP THE MAYA CODICES. 



Judging by these and tlie few numbers remaining, the entire series 

 was as follows : 



HI, 

 Ix 



Cimi 

 Ezanab 

 Oc I 



Ik J 



10, XIII : 4, IV : 20, XI : 9. VII ; 9. III. 



The only doubt in reference to the restoration is whether the second 

 and third pairs of numerals shoiild be as given, or 3, II, and 23, XI. 

 If we select the Kan column of our Table II and count from 3 Ix of 

 the eleventh figure column, we reach 13 Kan. If the four year series 

 was the system used 13 Kan might be the first day of a year, but not 

 the first day of an Indication. As this is the only day referred to by 

 the XIII which could have been the first of a year we must seek an 

 explanation in something else. Counting ten days from 3 Ezanab 

 will bring us to 13 Lamat, which is the last day (counting the five 

 added days) of an Indication, commencing with the year 1 Kan and 

 ending with the year 13 Kan. 



According to my theory of the ahaues,' the year 13 Kan would have 

 corresponded with the Gregorian years 1376, 1438, 1480. and 1533. 

 According to the theory advanced by Perez,' it would have corre- 

 sponded with 1385, 1437, 1489, and 1541. 



It is therefore possible that this nuirk of distinction may be of 

 some value in determining the relation of the Maya to the Gregorian 

 calendar.
