As will be readily seen, after the explanations given, this agrees with
the theory advanced.

The last red number is the same as that over the day column, the sum of
the black numbers is 52, and the interval between the days 52.

Commencing in the right margin of the lowest division of Plate XXIII* and
running through Plates XXII* and XXI*, is the series here represented:

VII VII
Cib Cimi }
Ik Eb } 7, I; 7, VIII; 7, II; 5, VII.
Lamat Ezanab }
Ix Kan
Ahau Oc

An examination of this shows it to be of the type of the double column
series of the other codex, except that here the days of one column are to
be taken in the order in which they stand before proceeding to the other
column. The sum of the black numbers is 26 and the interval between 7 Cib
and 7 Ik 26 days. The interval between 7 Ik and 7 Lamat, 7 Lamat and 7
Ix, and between 7 Ix and 7 Ahau is, in each case, 26 days. The interval
between 7 Ahau, last day of the left hand column, and 7 Cimi, the first
day of the right hand column, is also 26 days.

The order in which the days of these double column series of this
manuscript follow one another is not uniform, as in some cases (see Plate
XXV*, division _a_) they are to be taken alternately from the two
columns, as in the examples heretofore given from the Dresden Codex.

In the middle division (Plate XXXIII*, same codex) is a series of the
following form, but with the days so nearly obliterated that restoration
is necessary:

{ VI I
{ 5 8
I { VI I
Ymix (?) { 5 8
Cimi (?) { VI I
Chuen { 5 8
Cib (?) { VI I
(?) { 5 8
{ VI I
{ 5 8

The symbol of the first day has only the upper circle of dots to indicate
that it is Ymix, that of the second day is almost obliterated, the third
is clearly Chuen, the lower half of the fourth is obliterated, and the
interior of the fifth is a blank.

Fortunately there are sufficient data by which to make the restoration.
Chuen, we observe, is the middle of the column; that is, two days are
above it and two days below it; the sum of the black numerals is 65;
hence the interval between the days, considering the week numbers as
attached, is 65, and the simple interval in the month series, without
regard to the week numbers, is 5. Counting back on our calendar (Table
II) 65 days from 1 Chuen we reach 1 Cimi, and 65 more
