In a circular issued September, 1882, and previous to the appearance of No. 
II, the following announcement was made concerning the subsequent volumes 
of the series: 
No. II. Central American Calendars. 
A number of native calendars and "wheels," used by the Mayas, Kiches, CaV- 
chiquels, and neighboring tribes, in reckoning time and forecasting the future, 
will be published for the first time, with explanations. 
From lack of sufficient material, this important point in Americau archaeology 
has remained extremely obscure. The collection which it is intended to embrace 
in this volume is unquestionably unique of its kind.
