The year is divided into four seasons; the spring being called _Peughen_, the summer _Ucan_, the autumn _Gualug_, and the winter _Pucham_. The natural day is divided into twelve parts or hours, called _gliaganiu_, six of which belong to the day and six to the night, all of which have particular names. Commencing at midnight, there are Puliuen, Ueun, Thipanantu, Maleu, Vutamaleu, Ragiantu, Culunantu, Gullantu, Conantu, Guvquenantu, Puni, Ragipun. The stars in general are named _huaglen_, which they distribute into constellations called _pal_ or _ritha_. The pleiades are named _Cajupal_, or the constellation of six; the antarctic cross _Meleritho_, the Constellation of four, and so on. The milky-way is named _Rupuepen_, the fabulous road. The planets are called _gau_, a word derived from _gaun_ to wash, as they suppose them to dip into the sea when they set; and some conceive them to be other earths inhabited like our own. The sky is called _Guenu-mapu_, or the heavenly country; the moon _Cuyenmapu_, or the country of the moon. Comets are called _Cheruvoc_, as believed to be terrestrial exhalations inflamed in the upper region of the air. The eclipses of the sun and moon are called _Lay-antu_ and _Lay-cujen_, or the deaths of the sun and moon. Their measures of length are the _nela_ or palm, the _duche_ or foot, _namun_ the pace, _the can_ the ell, and _tupu_ the league, which answers to the marine league or the pharasang of the Persians: But they estimate long distances by mornings, corresponding to our days journeys. The liquid measures are the _guampar_, about a quart; _can_ about a pint; and the _mencu_, which is still smaller. The dry measures are the _chiaique, about six pints; and the _gliepu_, which is double that quantity.
