174 YUCATESE, CHIAPAN, MECHOACAN, NICARAGUA AND 



The following table exhibits the names of the twenty days of the 

 Yucatan month, with their signification, as far as it has been ascer- 

 tained by Don J. P. Perez ; and also the days of the Chiapa month 

 as given by Boturini; and which, from the similarity of the names 

 of several of the days, appears to have been in its origin nearly 

 identical with that of Yucatan.

"The Calendar of the inhabitants of the independent kingdom of 

 Mechoacan, who spoke the Tarasca language, appears to have been 

 similar to that of the Mexicans ; and the names of the days of their 

 month as stated by Veytia, are inserted in the table. The names* 

 of the days of an ancient Mexican, or rather Toltec tribe, found in 

 the province of Nicaragua, have also been inserted. This, as far 

 as we know, is the extreme southeastern limit of the Mexican Ca- 

 lendar on the Pacific Ocean. That limit on the Atlantic or Gulf of 

 Mexico may be traced as far as the islands opposite Cape Honduras 

 (Herrera) ; beyond which the shores are still inhabited by the un- 

 civilized Musquito Indians. 



"The cycle of fifty-two years was also adopted in Yucatan, and 

 the arrangement of the years was precisely the same as in that of 

 Mexico, substituting only the names Khan, Muluc, Hix and Ca-uac, 

 for Tochtli, Acatl, Tecpatl and Calli, as appears in the following 

 table :
