Chuen, 12 Ezanab, and 8 Manik.

(4) Between 1 Been and 1 Chicchan they are 12 Kan, 5 Oc, 1 Cauac, 5
Akbal, 12 Oc, and 8 Cauac.

These, as will be readily perceived, are found by counting on the
calendar from 1 Caban, 1 Muluc, &c., as heretofore explained.[283-1]

Our interpretation of the series of this particular class is now
complete, except as to their application or the object in view in forming
them and the determination of the particular years to which they apply.
Possibly they may be of general application, so far as consistent with
the calendar system. The conclusion on this point depends largely upon
the conclusion as regards the system, as it is evident their location in
time--if the year of 365 days and the four series of years formed the
basis of the system--would not correspond with their position in a system
based upon the year of 360 days, in which the four year series does not
play any necessary part.

Dr. Foerstemann calls attention to the fact that the pairs of numerals
representing the intermediate days are usually placed in separate
compartments, each containing a figure or a picture generally symbolic or
of a priest dressed to indicate some particular god. It is therefore very
probable that these intermediate days are to be devoted to ceremonies
relating to the divinities or subjects indicated by these figures.

In order to confirm the theory we are now discussing and at the same time
show some of the different varieties of the series of the type now under
consideration, the following additional examples are given.

In the middle division of Plate 5 is a day column and a numeral series,
as follows:

I.
Manik }
Cauac } 16, IV; 9, XIII; S + 5, XII; 2, I.
Chuen }
Akbal
Men

This series terminates with I, as it should according to the theory. The
sum of the black numerals--16, 9, 20, 5, 2--is 52, a multiple of
thirteen, and the interval between the successive days, reading
downwards, is 52, agreeing in these particulars with the theory. It will
also be observed that the symbol represented by S answers to the number
20.

In the lowest division of the same plate is another similar series, as
follows:

XII
Ezanab }
Akbal } 20 + 9, II; 11, XIII; 18, V; 7, XII.
Lamat }
Been
Ezanab

This terminates with XII, the number over the column; the sum of the
black numbers is 65, a multiple of thirteen and precisely the interv
