560 THE INSCRIPTIONS AT COPAN. 
we should find the same head-elements in Glyph C of the Supplementary Series in 
each of the above pairs, because each pair records the same day. 
In these 11 pairs, however, the head-elements of Glyph C are effaced or wanting 
in one member of 4 different pairs (Nos. 1, 2, 7, and 9 above), which leaves but 7 
upon which we can base our comparisons. 
In figure 80 the head-elements in Glyph C in these seven pairs are shown, the 
two in Pair 3 in aand J, the two in Pair 41nc and d, the three in Triplet 5 ine, f, and g, 
the two in Pair 6, in / and 7, the two in Pair 8 inj and k, the two in Pair 10 in / and 
m, and the two in Pair 11 in mando. Of these, the heads of 5 pairs agree perfectly, 
Pair 10 from Naranjo and Quirigua (figure 80, / and m) both having the sign for 
God M;; Pair 3, both from Piedras Negras (figure 80, a and b), both having the head 
of God A, Pair 4 both from the same monument, Stela 11 at Yaxchilan (figure 80, 
c and d) both having the head of a youthful deity, probably God E, Pair 11 from 
Quirigua and Copan (figure 80, ” and o) both having the head of God A again, 
Pair 8, from Naranjo and Quirigua (figure 80, 7 and k), both having the head of God 
A again.

Fic. 80.— Head-elements, or name-glyphs of deities in Glyphs C of Supplementary Series, 
which accompany the same Initial Series: a, 5, Piedras Negras, Stele 1 and 3 
(9.12.2.0.16); c, d, Yaxchilan, Stela 11 (9.16.1.0.0); ¢, f, g, Yaxchilan, Stela 1, 
Quirigua, Stela F Copan, Stela N (9.16.10.0.0); h, 1, Naranjo, Stele 24 and 29 
(9.12.10.5.12); 7, k, Naranjo, Stela 13, Quirigua, Zodbmorph B (9.17.10.0.0); J, m, 
Naranjo, Stela 8, Quirigua, Stela I (9.18.10.0.0); , 0, Quirigua, Stela J, Copan, 
Stela M (9.16.5.0.0). 
The other two, Pair 6 and Triplet 5, show a disagreement in this element. 
The first member of Pair 6, Stela 24, at Naranjo has the sign of God M (figure 80, h) 
and the second member, Stela 29 at Naranjo (figure 80, 2), the head of God E, a 
clear contradiction. 
Triplet 6 has two of its three members in agreement, Stela 1 at Yaxchilan and 
Stela N at Copan both having the sign of God M again (figure 80, e¢ and g); the third 
member, however, Stela F at Quirigua (figure 80, f) is aberrant, having the head 
of God E. 
The disagreements in the last two cases are so positive that in spite of the 
satisfactory agreements in the other five, it is probable that the day could not have 
been the period presided over by these deities, and that in this respect at least, 
they differ from the Aztec Nine Lords of the Night. 
Another possibility is that this deity in Glyph C may have presided over the 
corresponding lunar month, although, if so, the series cut across the 5- or 6-month 
lunar periods, because we find different deity heads associated with the same bar- 
and-dot coefficients, as for example in figure 79,7 and k, where the bar-and-dot 
coefficients are both 2, but the head in 7 is the head of God A, and that in k is the 
head of the God with the cruller ornament, possibly God K; or again in figure 79, 
n and o, where the bar-and-dot coefficients are both 5, but the head in 7 is that of 
an unknown god (head-variant for the number 6), and the corresponding element 
in 0, the sign for God M.
