oe aa) In order to bring clearly before the eye the 
slgls places in the cycle where these years fall, we 
5 | E 4 give here the Cauac table governing the period 
rol11/ 12/13 embraced in the four plates heretofore alluded 
slalels to. Marking the numbers, we find a continu- 
5| 6| 7] 8 ous period of twenty years, possibly one Ka- 
9/10/11} 12 tun, though not in the precise order we would 
tg; 87 264 expect it, that is, it does not include five com- 
4155 pee plete transverse lines. If we use the Kan table, 
da we obtain the same result, except that then we

BO Ahi 38 13; the same subject as that presented on Plate 
i ri : se XXvI, we select the day column of the upper 
9/10\11 ‘Zs division. The days are 11 Ahau, II Eb

The numbers which are surrounded in the table by a waved 
line, also form, as we see, a continuous period of twenty sass 
We likewise observe that between the periods there is an intery 
of four years, d 
Plates vit, vit, 1x and x, of the second part of the manuscript 
furnish perhaps the strongest proof of the correctness of my ™ 
terpretation of the red numerals. The middle division of thes 
plates evidently refers to one subject. Here we find thirteen 
short columns, of three day characters each, inserted in the ts 
each character with red numerals over it, and each column wit 
black numerals at the bottom denoting 17, as the month. | ae 
give here the names of the days with the number of each as shown 
by the red numerals; the order in which the columns occuf is a
