t Troano," in "Contributions to North American Ethnology," Vol. V, p. 29. (76) According to the teachings of the Mexican priests nine deities governed the days. They had painted lists of these weeks, and the deities governing each. (77) Valentine: Proceedings Am. Antiq. Soc., Oct., 1879, p. 85. (78) In this table we have followed Mr. Gallatin. According to Prof. Valentine, the order of the years is different. This, however, is immaterial to an understanding of the system. (79) Gallatin: "Am. Eth. Soc. Transactions," Vol. I, p. 94, _et seq._ (80) Thus says Prof. Valentine. The cast of this stone in the Smithsonian Institution gives the date eight, instead of seven Ozomatl. (81) For information on the Calendar Stone, consult, "American Ethnological Society's Transactions," Vol. I, p. 94, _et seq.;_ Bancroft's "Native Races," Vol. II, chap. xvi, and p. 755, _et seq.;_ Valentine: American Antiquarian Society's Proceedings, April, 1878, p. 92, _et seq.;_ Short's "North Americans of Antiquity," p. 419, _et seq._ (82) Morgan's "Ancient Society," p. 143.

The doctor now thinks his statement just referred to, too strong. There is, indeed, a resemblance, as he pointed out; but it is not strong enough to found any theories on. (90) Short's "North Americans of Antiquity," p. 474. (91) Brinton's "Myths of the New World." (92) This historical manuscript represents the traditions of the Maya people shortly after the conquest. It is very likely its author had before him picture records of what he wrote. Such records have since disappeared. The manuscript itself, the interpretation of it, and Perez's remarks are found in Stephen's "Yucatan," Vol. II, Appendix. The same in Bancroft's "Native Races," Vol. V, p. 628.
