have made a mistake or there must be an error in the theory
here advanced. But let us continue according to our own figures: V + 12 -
13 = IV; IV + 11 - 13 = II; II + 11 = XIII; XIII + 6 - 13 = VI; VI + 12 -
13 = V; V + 7 = 12; XII + 6 - 13 = V; V + 20 + 1 - 13 = XIII; XIII + 6 -
13 = VI.

There is no doubt, therefore, that the line forms one continuous series,
and if so it links together pages 38 and 43 as they are now numbered. It
follows, then, that if Plates 1 and 2 and Plates 42 and 43 belong
together, the former pair must be placed to the right of 43. This is
conceded by Dr. Foerstemann,[278-2] as he says that, Dr. Karl
Schultz-Sellack having pointed out the error in his paging, he changed
pages 1 and 2 to 44 and 45 and pages 44 and 45 to 1 and 2; that is to
say, the two leaves containing these pages were loosened from the strip
and reversed, so that page 1 would be 44 and page 2 would be 45.

Having brought together these plates so that 1 and 2 stand to the right
of 43, attention is called to the lines of day symbols running through
division _c_. Substituting names and numbers as heretofore, they are as
follows:

Plate 42:
IV Ahau; XII Lamat; VII Cib; II Kan; X Eb; V Ahau; XIII Lamat.
17 8 8 8 8 8 8

Plate 43:
IV Chicchan; XII Been; VII Ymix; II Muluc; X Caban; V Chicchan; XIII Been.
17 8 8 8 8 8 8

Plate 1:
IV Oc; XII Ezanab; VII Cimi; II Ix; X Ik; V Oc; (?) Ezanab.
17 8 8 8 8 8 8

Plate 2:
IV Men; XIII Akbal; VII Chuen; II Cauac; X Manik; V Men; XIII Akbal.
17 8 8 8 8 8 8

The chief objects in view at present in selecting this series are, as
before indicated, to prove the relation of the plates to one another and
to determine the use of the black numerals which stand under the day
symbols. These numerals consist of but two different numbers, the first
on each page being 17, the rest 8's.

As the particular year or years to which the series refers is unknown we
turn to our calendar--Table II--and select the Kan column, as we find
that 4 Ahau, the first day of the series, is the seventeenth day of the
year 1 Kan. This corresponds with the first black numeral. Counting 8
days from this we reach 12 Lamat, the second day of our series; 8 more
bring us to 7 Cib, the third day of the series; 8 more to 2 Kan;
