udy of the Manuscript Troano.

[4] As the reduction of the cut prevents the insertion of the names of
the days, letters have been substituted for them in the quadrilateral or
inner ring as follows:

_In the top line._--Ymix, _a_; Chicchan, _b_; Muluc, _c_; Been, _d_, and
Caban, _e_.

_In the left column._--Cimi, _f_; Ik, _g_; Oc, _h_; Ix, _i_, and Ezanab,
_j_.

_In the bottom line._--Akbal, _k_; Manik, _l_; Chuen, _m_; Men, _n_, and
Cauac, _o_.

_In the right column._--Kan, _p_; Lamat, _q_; Eb, _r_; Ahau, _s_, and
Cib, _t_.

[6] It is worthy of note that the numerals on the plate apply only to
the years 1 Cauac, 1 Kan, 1 Muluc, and 1 Ix, the first years of an
Indication or week of years.

[1][TN-7] _Manuscrit dit Mexicain No. 2._--The Bureau of Ethnology has
had the good fortune to obtain a copy of Duruy's photographic
reproduction of this Manuscript, of which, according to Leclerc
(Bibliotheca Americana), only ten copies were issued, though Brasseur in
his Bibliotheque Mexico-Guatemalienne (p. 95) affirms that the edition
consisted of fifty copies. The full title is as follows: "_Manuscrit dit
Mexicain No. 2 de la Bibliotheque Imperiale Photographie (sans
reduction). Par ordre de S. E. M. Duruy, Ministre de l'Instruction
publique, President de la Commission scientifique du Mexique._ Paris,
1864."

Rosny has given a _fac-simile_ copy from the two plates here referred to
in Plate XVI of his _Essai sur le Dechiffrement de l'Ecriture
Hieratique_.

[10] Possibly each serpent represents one indication of thirteen years,
but the proper answer to this question is not important in the present
investigation.

[11] In order to accommodate the list to the paging it is divided into
sections, the second section to follow to the right of the first; the
third to the right of the second, and so on to the last, as though
extended continuously to the right. Those numbered 1 would then form one
continuous transverse line, as would also those numbered 2,3, 4 and 5
respectively.

[12] In the original, _Deer_, certainly an error.
