HOLMES ANNIVERSARY VOLUME 



the Supplementary Series, unlike the Initial Series, had different 

 starting points at different cities; possibly Mr Goodman's ab urbes 

 conditd idea will even be found to apply. It is possible, on the other 

 hand, that differently arranged sequences of the lunar months may 

 account for the differences observed, though the writer rather inclines 

 to the former view. This and many other points must be reserved for 

 future investigation. 



It is already apparent, however, that the Supplementary Series is 

 a lunar count just as the Initial Series is a diurnal count; and further- 

 more, that the former depends on the latter for its variation in every 

 case. Were it advisable to change the nomenclature of the two counts 

 at this late date, the Initial Series might very properly be called the 

 Day Series, and the Supplementary Series the Moon Series. 



It is indeed a happy coincidence which permits the announcement 

 of the meaning of this important group of glyphs on such a memorable 

 and felicitous anniversary as the present.
