F.iRSTEMANN.] CENTRAL AMERICAN CALENDAR 519 



days. In the practical calendar the inconvenient number 29 could not 

 well be used, but only the conv^enient divisor 28 (28X13=3()4). On 

 pages G and 7 Brinton also touches on this division of the year, on 

 which, I am sorry to say, I must not permit myself here to dwell. 

 1 am also forced to leave the last chapters of his book, '■'■ The sym- 

 bolism of the day names '' and " General symbolic significance of the 

 calendar '*, without any discussion whatever, especially as I am 

 unable to follow the author in his lofty flights. (For the twenty day 

 glyphs see g to ««, figure 112.)
