 however, are shown in figures 19 and 20. The forms in figure 19 are 

 taken from the inscriptions and those in figure 20 from the codices.

The signs for the first four months. Pop, TJo, Zip, and Zotz, show a 

 convincing similarity in both the inscriptions and the codices. The 

 essential elements of Pop (figs. 19, a, and 20, a) are the crossed bands 

 and the Tcin sign. The latter is found in both the forms figvired, though 

 only a part of the former appears in figure 20, a. Uo has two forms 

 in the inscriptions (see fig. 19, h, c),^ which are, however, very similar 

 to each other as well as to the corresponding forms in the codices 

 (fig. 20, &, c). The glyphs for the month Zip are identical in both 

 figures 19, d, and 20, d. The grotesque heads for Zotz in figures 19, 

 e, /,^ and 20, e, are also similar to each other. The essential character- 



i Later researches of the writer (1914) have convinced him that figure 19, c,is not a sign for TTo, but a 

 very unasual variant of the sign for Zip, found only at Copan, and there only on monuments belonging 

 to the final period. 



2 The writer was able to prove during his last trip to the Maya field that figure 19, /,is not a sign 

 for the month Zotz, as suggested by Mr. Bowditch, but a very unusual form representing 

 This identiflciition is supported by a number of examples at Piedras Negras.
