same days the solstices^ the equinoxes, and the 
passages of the Sun across the zenith of the 
city of Tenochtitlan, very nearly corresponded. 
The representation of the sign ollin by three 
xocpalli, or prints of the feet, as we often find 
them in the manuscripts at the Vatican, and in 
the Codex Borgianus, fol. 47, n. 210, is remark- 
able from the analogy which it seemingly offers 
with sravana, or the three prints of the feet of 
Vishnou, one of the mansions of the lunar zodiac 
of the Hindoos. In the Mexican calendar, the 
three prints indicate either the traces of the Sun 
in its passage across the equator, and its motion 
towards the two tropics, or the three positions of 
the Sun in the zenith, in the equator, and in one 
of the solstices. It is possible, that the lunar 
zodiac of the Hindoos contained some sign, 
which, like that of the Balance, might refer to 
the course of the Sun. We have seen, that the 
zodiac of twenty-eight signs may have been 
transformed by degrees into a zodiac of twelve 
mansions of the full Moon ; and that some nac- 
shatras may have changed their denomination, 
since, from the knowledge of the annual motion 
of the Sun, the zodiac of the full Moons is become 
a real solar zodiac, Crishna, the Apollo of the
