the rest, and as a consequence all the rest of the year; therefore when we 

 find what the first day of the year is, we can easily determine any day of 

 any month. As each of the four leading days or "year-bearers," as they 

 were called by the Mayas, can have but thirteen difi"erent numbers it is 

 unnecessary to extend our columns of numbers further than thirteen.
