As this table has been explained in my previous papers it is only
necessary to add here that the thirteen figure columns form a single
series; therefore, when we reach the bottom of the thirteenth column we
go back to the top of the first. The day reached will be the one directly
opposite (that is, in the same horizontal line) in the day column for the
given year.
