MORLEY] INTRODUCTION TO STUDY OF MAYA HIEROGLYPHS 243 



Compare glypli 1 with figure 16, m, n, and glyph 2 with figure 19, 

 a' , I' . In glyphs 8 and 9 appears a Secondary-series number con- 

 sisting of 18 kins, 11 uinals, and 11 tuns (11.11.18). Reducing this 

 number to units of the first order and counting it forward from the 

 date next preceding it in the text, 1 Muluc 2 Muan in glyphs 1 and 2, 

 the terminal date reached will be 13 Manik Xul, which the student 

 will find recorded in glyphs 10 and 11. Compare glyph 10 with 

 figure 16, j, and glyph 11 with figure 19, i, j. The next Secondary- 

 series number appears in glyphs 22 and 23, and consists of 19 kins, 

 9 uinals, and 8 tuns (8.9.19). Reducing this to units of the first order 

 and counting forw^ard from the date next preceding it in the text, 13 

 Manik Xul in glyphs 10 and 11, the terminal date reached will be 

 11 Cimi 19 Mac, wdiich the student will find recorded in glyphs 24 

 and 25. Compare glyph 24 with figure 16, Ti, i, and glyph 25 with 

 figure 19, w, x. Although no number appears in glyph 26, there 

 follows in glyphs 27 and 28 the date 1 Muluc 2 Kankin, which the 

 student will find is just three days later than 11 Cimi 19 Mac, that 

 is, one day 12 Manik Kankin, two days 13 Lamat 1 Kankin, and 

 three days 1 Muluc 2 Kankin. 



In spite of the fact that all these numbers are counted regularly 

 from the dates next preceding them to reach the dates next following 

 them, there is apparently no glyph in this text wdiich will fix the 

 position of any one of the above dates in the Long Count. Moreover, 

 since none of the day parts show the day sign Ahau, it is evident 

 that none of these dates can end any uinal, tmi, katun, or cycle in 

 the Long Count, hence their positions can not be determined by the 

 method used in fixmg the dates in figure 83, A and B. 



There is, however, another method by means of which Calendar- 

 round dates may sometimes be referred to their proper positions in 

 the Long Comit. A monument which shows only Calendar-round 

 dates may be associated with another monument or a building, the 

 dates of which are fLxed in the Long Coimt. In such cases the fixed 

 dates usually will show the positions to which the Calendar-round 

 dates are to be referred. 



Taking any one of the dates given on Altar 5 in plate 25, as the last, 

 1 Muluc 2 Kankin, for example, the positions at which this date 

 occurred in Cycle 9 may be determined from Goodman's Tables to 

 be as follows: 



9. 0.16. 5.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin 



9. 3. 9. 0.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin 



9. 6. 1.13.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin 



9. 8.14. 8.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin 



9.11. 7. 3.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin 



9.13.19.16.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin 



9.16.12.11.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin 



9.19. 5. 6.9 1 Muluc 2 Kankin
