THE ARCHAIC MAYA INSCRIPTIONS. 



13. ZIP— 260 days. 



The remarks concerning Uo will, in the main, apply to Zip — only that in this case 

 the superfixes are identical with those in the symbols for Ceh, where they have the 

 value of 8. 



14. ZOTZ— 280 days. 



This is another symbol whose value is not clearly traceable. It not infrequently has 

 the akbal sign at the top of the head. As 280 is a multiple of 7, it may be that the 

 requisite multipliers are indicated in some way I have failed to observe. I have spoken 

 of this symbol being employed in one place for 14. 



15. TZEC-300 days. 



This is the chuen symbol, or day sign for 15, multiplied by 20 — 15 X 20^=300. The 

 bottom curve is omitted in both the month and day sign in the inscriptions.
