series begins in the second third of page 73, on the right, with 65= IV 

 14, increases toward the left by terms of 65 to 910= IV 10, then con- 

 tinues at the bottom of page 73, on the right, with 975= IV 4, and 

 again continues to increase toward the left by terms of only 65 until, 

 on page 71, 1,8'20=IV 9 is reached, which is divisible b}^ 260 (as were 

 various previous numbers). This 1.820 constitutes the second differ- 

 ence for the next two numbers, 3,640 and 5,460. The 7,280 which Vt'e 

 should then expect is wanting, but just this is the third difference for 

 what follows. The line ends on page 70 with 43,680=6X7,280, but 

 continues a line higher on page 71 with 50,960=7X'7,280, and now 

 continues to increase toward the left to 9, 10, 13, 15 times 7,280, where- 

 upon the 8 times 7,280 (58,240), omitted on page 71, is here inserted, 

 for I read here 8, 1, 14, 0, instead of 8, 1, 10, 0. 



To these highest numbers of the series is added a number consist- 

 ing of the numerals 1, 0, 12, 3, which are quite inexplicable at pres- 

 ent, for there is nothing to be done with 7,443. Yet, I would call 

 attention to the fact that it stands exactly in the place where in tlni, 

 preceding section we found the at first equally inexplicable 136,864, 

 As in the preceding section, we shall revert to this number later. 



Thus we have two series in this section, but each relates only to one 

 day. The previous section gave us but one series, which, however, had 

 reference to two days. AVhat was there 91, III 2 and XIII 20, is 

 here 54, IX 11, and 65, IV 9. 



THE CORRECTIONS, OK ENCIRCLED NUMERALS 



While the former section presented five such numbers, the present 

 one contains no fewer than eight. Of these, however, only the four 

 lower ones actually have the rings, while the four higher ones are 

 without them. They are as follow : 



1. On page 70, on the left, 606=2X260+86; above this is IX 11; 

 86 is the distance from IX 11 to the normal date IV 17. 



2. To the right of this number is 1,646=6X260+8(5: above it 

 again is IX 11; this refers to the same interval. 



3. Below the first number is only 86; over this again is IX 11, 

 referring again to the same distance. 



4. Below the second number is 208 ; over this is IV 9. The 208 

 denotes actualW the distance from IV 9 to IV 17. 



5. On the same page in the fourth column, in black figures, is 

 111,554=429X260+14; above, in the third column, is X 17, but 

 over the X is an VIII, like a correction, I read them VIII 17. The 

 above-mentioned 14, however, denotes the distance from VIII 17 to 

 IX 11, the initial day of the first series. 



6. Written between in red is 101,812 (for I read 14 instead of l'))^ 

 391X260+152. This 152 is the distance from VIII 17 to IV 9, 

 the starting point of the second series.
