Hell^ Mictlanteuhcihua^ stretching out her arms 
toward the body of the victim. 
No. 8. (Cod. Borg. fol. 47, MSS No. 210). 
The astrological sign nahui Ollin tonatmh^ the 
Sun in its four motions ; which, by prints of feet^ 
or xocpalli^ seems to remind us of the positions of 
. the Sun at the zenith^ in the equator, and at the 
, solstices^. At the side we find the dates of the 
days presided over by the asterisms ozomatliy 
ape ; calli, house ; and quiahuitl^ rain. If these 
dates were 8 rain, 5 house, and 3 ape, they would 
answer, according to the disposition of the peri- 
odical series, to the days in which the Sun is 
at one of the tropics, at the equator, and in the 
zenith of the city of Mexico ; but the ciphers 
added to the hieroglyphics differ several units 
from those which we have just mentioned. The 
sign ollin is placed at the extremity of a cylin- 
drical insect, which appears to be a millipede 
or scolopendra. I am ignorant of the significa- 
tion of the astrological symbol, which resembles 
a cross. 
No. 9. (Cod. Borg. fol. 59). A man and a 
woman folding children in their arms, and rais-^ 
ing one hand toward Heaven. 
No. 10. (Cod. Borg. fol. 23, MSS No. 94).
