rORSTEMANN.] DAY GODS OF THE MAYAS 571 



And since Akbal is one of the days with which the months in the 

 Kan year begin, the sixth glyph, ahau, also agrees. 



11. Chicchan, h. The dog with his glyphs certainly does not agree 

 with this, since Ave expect a serpent god here. Yet it is cnrious that 

 the last two glyphs are the same, only in reversed order, as the last 

 two in gronp 1, which certainly belongs to a serpent god. The ques- 

 tion remains undecided. 



12. Muluc, 7n. Here the divinity K corresponds admirably in the 

 picture and the two central glyphs. The fifth glyph shows the day 

 as one of the regents of the year. 



13. Chuen, o. Here there is no agreement, since the picture repre- 

 sents god A, and the glyphs are his. 



14. Ix, r. Nothing can better correspond to this day than the pic- 

 ture of the jaguar and his glyph occupying the third place. 



15. Cib, t. Here, too, as in the preceding group, the picture and 

 third glyph agree, both denoting the vulture. The fifth, on the other 

 hand, represents the lightning dog, in relation to which it is curiously 

 fitting that on page 13c vulture and dog are combined in one group. 



These two groups, 14 and 15, separated by two days, like jaguar 

 and vulture in the Aztec calendar, seem to me by themselves quite a 

 convincing proof of the connection of this tonalamatl with the days. 

 They formed the basis of my hypothesis. 



16. Cauac, w. Here we find nothing that we expected, but in its 

 stead the god D and the ahau sign, almost always accompanying him, 

 in the fourth place, the third glyph being unfortunately destroyed. 

 We are, therefore, led to assume, not with certainty, but with great 

 probability, that an error of one day has been made here by the 

 writer. It should be the day 17 (Ahau), for otherwise the chief of 

 all the gods would be missing. The number of days wanting in these 

 20 groups and of those appearing tAvice is, therefore, reduced to throe 

 (T, 9, and 14 and 3, 8, and 18). 



17. Imix, y. ' Corresponding to the day, the picture shows a female 

 deity who in two things agrees very well with what was remarlvcil 

 above, in the bee sitting on her head and in the bandaged eyes, whicii 

 I believe, as Avell as the uncertain position of the hands (or do 1 see 

 too much here?), indicate intoxication from drinking pulque. 



18. Kan, g. The sought-for grain goddess P^, Avith hei- glvi)h; is 

 actually found here. 



19. Cimi, /. This is not the expected deity A, but the closely 

 related figure of the Moan, having the death symbol on his head, and 

 his glyphs, thus entirely suitable to the day. 



20. Lamat, 7. Nothing corresponds to this day, but god A occurs 

 Avith his glyph, perhaps not througli error, but intentionally. The 

 fourth glyph is A^ery remarkable. In it I am very much inclined to 

 see a time period, lunar mouths and (l days, that is, (')X28-|-('., or a
