[XI-1] The 0 inserted at various points in these tables denotes as usual
the red, diamond shaped symbol, which apparently signifies "nought."
[XI-2] The numeral symbol in this case, both in Kingsborough's copy and
in the photograph, is VII, one dot having been omitted by a mistake of
the original artist.

[XII-1] In Kingsborough's work the symbol in this case is that of Been,
but should be Muluc, as it is in the photograph.
