The last black number of the series is 9, but should be 10 to render the
series complete. Making this correction, the series is of the usual type;
the sum of the black numerals is 26, the interval between the days of
the columns is 26, and the final red numeral is the same as that over the
columns.

As the circle of dots is around the final red number and also around each
of those over the columns, the distinction indicated must refer to one or
more days of each column.

As the last days only of the columns are year bearers, the mark of
distinction probably applies to them. Selecting for the left hand column
the Ix series of years and commencing with 1 Oc, the seventeenth day of
the eighth month, we count 26 days. This brings us to 1 Cib, the third
day of the tenth month, or tenth figure column of our calendar and second
day of the first day column of the series; 26 days more to 1 Ik; 26 more
to 1 Lamat, and 26 more to 1 Ix, the first day of the year 1 Ix, which,
according to the four year series, will be the first year of an
Indication. Selecting the Kan series for the second column and counting
in the same way from 1 Ahau, the seventeenth day of the eighth month, or
eighth figure column of the calendar, the last day is found to be 1 Kan,
the first day of the year 1 Kan, which must also be the first year of an
Indication.

Unit numerals marked in this manner are found in two or three places in
the Cortesian Codex, but there is none in the Dresden Codex. The series
with which they are connected in the former, except that in the middle
division of Plate 24, are too much obliterated to be traced throughout.
This, by making two slight and apparently authorized corrections, is as
follows:

[(I)]
Cimi }
Ezanab } 11, XII(?); 11, X; 6, III; 8, XI; 7(?), V; 9, I.
Oc }
Ik
Ix

The first red numeral of the line is X in the original and the next to
the last black number is 6. By changing the former to XII and the latter
to 7 the sum of the series will be 52, which is the interval between the
days of the column.

Using the Ix column in the calendar and commencing with 1 Cimi, counting
as heretofore, the last day of the column of the series is found to be 1
Ix, the first day of the year 1 Ix and the first year of an Indication,
according to the four year system.

A somewhat remarkable confirmation of the theory here advanced is
presented
