roano, p. 23, _et al._ Hunting them out, by using our Table III, we find them to be as follows: 1 _Cib._ 1 _Ahau._ 1. _Kan._ 1. _Lamat._ 1 _Eb._[TN-8] Years 10 Cauac. 13 Cauac. 9 Cauac. 5 Cauac. 1 Cauac. Years 2 Kan. 11 Kan. 1 Kan. 10 Kan. 6 Kan. Years 7 Muluc. 3 Muluc. 12 Muluc. 8 Muluc. 11 Muluc. Years 12 Ix. 8 Ix. 4 Ix. 13 Ix. 9 Ix. If we turn now to Table XVII (Study Manuscript Troano p. 44), we will find that these are precisely the counted years (those in the space inclosed by the dotted lines) in Ahau number VI. If we assume the month to be the 11th then the numbers of the Ahaues will correspond exactly with the numbers of the columns of our Table V.[8] As it may be supposed that using the same numeral to any five days of the twenty in this way will produce a similar result, let us test it by an example. For this purpose we select the same column of our foregoing table, No. V--that with the number 1 prefixed--Cib, Ahau, Kan, Lamat, Eb, but in place of Lamat we insert Cimi. Hunting out the years as heretofore we find them to be as follows: 1 _Cib._ 1 _Ahau._ 1 _Kan._ 1 _Cimi._ 1 _Eb._ Years 10 Cauac. 13 Cauac. 9 Cauac. 7 Cauac. 1 Cauac. Years 2 Kan[TN-9] 11 Kan. 1 Kan. 12 Kan. 6 Kan. Years 7 Muluc. 3 Muluc. 12 Muluc. 10 Muluc. 11 Muluc. Years 12 Ix. 8 Ix. 4 Ix. 2 Ix. 9 Ix. If we try to locate these years in an Ahau in Table XVII (Study Manuscript Troano p. 44), we shall find it impossible to do so, nor can we locate them in any table that can be made which has either twenty-four or twenty years in an Ahau, while on the other hand the twenty years obtained by using a column of the table from the Codex Peresianus can be located in some one of the Ahaues obtained by any division of the Grand Cycle into consecutive groups of twenty-four years that can be made. It would require too much space to prove this assertion, but any one who doubts its correctness can test it. As the extract we have given from the Codex Peresianus relates only to one of the four groups of days--that on the right of the quadrilateral--I will supply in the following tables, Nos. VII, VIII, and IX, the arrangement of the groups of the other three sides; adding the other (Table VI), also, so as to bring the four together in the
