this space consist chiefly of the time at which the moon and 
planets come to certain situations. Of this there is not a 
great deal which I understand, and what I do, is not worth 
taking notice of. There are also some figures and tables be- 
tween the preface and calendar, which, as far as I can find* 
relate only to astrology. 
The Nadeea almanac contains, besides the articles above- 
mentioned, the time of the day at which the lunar teethee ends, 
the number of the nakshatra and yug (place in the moveable 
zodiac) which the moons quits on that day, and the time at 
which she quits them, besides a few occasional remarks. It 
is disposed in a much coarser manner than the Benares patra, 
as each page contains as many days as it will hold, so that 
the month seldom begins at the beginning of a page. It con- 
tains no preface, and no explanation of the columns. The days 
of the week are not denoted by the first syllables of the name, 
but only by a number, expressing their order in the week, which 
caused some trouble in finding what day was meant by these 
numbers ; but, by a variety of circumstances, I think it cer- 
tain that the number 1 must denote Sunday.
