form of a grotesque head. In the codices the common form for this 

 day is very different (fig. 17, g). The head variant, however (fig, 

 17, h), shows a sUghtly closer sunilarity to the form from the inscrip- 

 tions. The forms in both figure 16, 7i, i, and figure 17, i, j, for the 

 day Cimi show little resemblance to each other. Although figure 17, 

 i, represents the common form in the codices, the variant in j more 

 closely resembles the form in figure 16, Ji, i. The day Manik is prac- 

 tically the same in both (see figs. 16, j, and 17, Tc) , as is also Lamat 

 (figs. 16, Tc, I, and 17, Z, m). The day Muluc occurs rarely in the 

 inscriptions (fig. 16, m, n) . Of these two variants m more closely 

 resembles the form from the codices (fig. 17, n) . The glyph for the 

 day Oc (fig. 16, o, p, q) is not often found in the inscriptions. In the 

 codices, on the other hand, this day is frequently represented as 

 shown in figure 17, o. This form bears no resemblance to the forms 

 in the inscriptions. There is, however, a head-variant form found 

 very rarely in the codices that bears a slight resemblance to the forms 

 in the inscriptions. The day Chuen occurs but once m the inscrip- 

 tions where the form is clear enough to distinguish its characteristic 

 (see fig 16, r) . This form bears a general resemblance to the glyph 

 for this day in the codices (fig. 17, p, q). The forms for the day Eb 

 in both figures 16, s, t, u, and 17, r, are grotesque heads sho^dng 

 but remote resemblance to one another. The essential element in 

 both, however, is the same, that is, the element occupying the 

 position of the ear. Although the day Ben occurs but rarely in 

 the 'inscriptions, its form (fig. 16, v) is practically identical with 

 that in the codices (see fig. 17, s) . The day Ix in the inscriptions 

 appears as in figure 16, w, x. The form in the codices is shown in 

 figure 17, t. The essential element in each seems to be the three promi- 

 nent dots or circles. The day Men occurs very rarely on the monu- 

 ments. The form showTi in figure 16, y, is a grotesque head not unlike 

 the sign for this day in the codices (fig. 17, u) . The signs for the 

 day Cib in the inscriptions and the codices (figs. 16, z, and 17, v, w), 

 respectively, are very dissimilar. Indeed, the form for Cib (fig. 17, v) 

 in the codices resembles more closely the sign for the day Caban 

 (fig. 16, a' , h') than it does the form for Cib in the inscriptions (see 

 fig. 16, z) . The only element common to both is the line parallelmg the 

 (p^ upper part of the glyph (*) and the short vertical lines connecting 

 * it with the outline at the top. The glyphs for the day Caban in 

 both figures 16, a', h', and 17, x,y, show a satisfactory resemblance to 

 each other. The forms for the day Eznab are also practically iden- 

 tical (see figs. 16, c% and 17, z, a') . The forms for the day Cauac, on 

 the other hand, are very dissimilar; compare figures 16, d\ and 17, &'. 

 The only point of resemblance between the two seems to be the 

 element which appears in the eye of the former and at the lower left- 

 hand side of tli(^ hitter. The last of the twenty Maya (hiys, and by
