164 A STUDY OF THE MANUSCRIPT TEOANO. 



On Plates XXX* and XXIX* the head of the black figure is at the 

 right margin of the upper division of the former, while the body and feet 

 are in the left margin of the upper division of the latter. This explanation 

 vpill be sufficient to make clear what may hereafter be said in reference to 

 the subject-matter of the division of' one plate extending over upon the 

 corresponding division of another. 



Plate I. 



The day characters on this plate, if there were any, are wholly oblit- 

 erated. 



Plate II. 



I give below (Fig. 99) an illustration of the day and numeral characters 

 •/n*' '&'' *^^ *''® second division of this plate. The black numerals, 



''•V^ '^^ or those for the month are given here in solid black, the red 

 ■ ^■^^ I J or day numer- 



**** ^- ■ :\ t^^^t O O O " iLMRJW O ii-ls in outline. 



As the first 

 character in the left column is an unusual one, and the 

 first of the right column is too much obliterated to be 

 determined by inspection, we must ascertain them by 

 means of the intervals. 



The third in the left column is certainly Chuen and 

 the fourth Akbal — this gives an interval of twelve days; 

 those of the right column are Been, Chicchan, Caban, 

 and Muluc, the interval being in each case twelve days. 

 This gives for the left column Manik, Cauac, Chuen, Akbal, and Men. The 

 Cauac character, if such it be, is a very unusual one, being identical with 

 that for Men.^ The first character in the right column is that for Ymix. 



'This, I tliiuk, is an ovitlent mistake, ami furnislies one reason for believing tliis MS. is a copy.
