THOMAS] TABLET OF THE CROSS Cx 
tion, as will be shown farther on) by simply adding two days to the first 
numeral series connection will be made with the date of the third series. 
There is, however, as will be seen, at least one initial series with face 
characters in place of numerals where connection is properly made 
according to Mr Goodman’s number with a following date. 
As there will be occasion to refer frequently to the series on the 
different divisions of the tablet we give here a list of these series in 
the order in which they occur, beginning with the closing date of the 
initial series on the left slab, the years being added in parentheses. 
The numeral series are given in cycles, katuns, ahaus, chuens, and 
days, followed by their equivalent in days placed to the right; and 
where the sum is greater than a calendar round, the remainder, after 
subtracting the calendar rounds, is also shown. The term ** left slab” 
(though not strictly correct) is used only te include the six columns at 
the left; ‘‘right slab,” the six columns at the right; and ‘‘middle 
space,” to include the entire space between the six columns at the left 
and the six columns at the right. The series as here given are based 
on inspection:
