FOOTNOTES:
[261-1] The work here referred to is entitled Die Mayahandschrift der
Königlichen öffentlichen Bibliothek zu Dresden, herausgegeben von Prof.
Dr. E. Förstemann, Hofrat und Oberbibliothekar. It contains, besides the
chromolithographs of the 74 plates, an introduction published at Leipzig,
1880, 4^o.
[269-1] A Study of the Manuscript Troano, by Cyrus Thomas, pp. 7-15.
[272-1] This method will be adopted throughout this paper where figures
containing numerals are introduced.
[273-1] In the representations of lines and columns of the codex Roman
numbers are necessarily used to distinguish the class of numerals, yet in
the text, as in this case, the Arabic numbers will be used as most
convenient.
[273-2] Strictly speaking, the interval between 11 Men and 13 Oc is
fourteen days, but throughout this paper, by "_interval between_" two
days, is to be understood the number of days to be counted _from_ one _to
and including_ the other. The one counted from is always _excluded_ and
the one reached or with which the interval terminates is always
_included_.
