The second figure is the wounding serpent deity H, likewise represented here as feminine, with a lock of hair; the copal pouch hangs from her neck, her nose-peg resembles a flower as on page 19a. A bird is sitting on her head and is devouring a piece of an animal's body; we have already met this representation in the preceding Tonalamatl. Hieroglyph 6 designates the deity H, 7 (Imix-Kan) probably denotes the devouring of the flesh and sign 8, which is an Ahau with a prefixed knife, may also refer to this. Finally, the third picture is again the death-god, who is clad in a gala cloak and, in contrast to the first picture, where the deity is sitting on some object, is squatting on the ground. The three hieroglyphs 10, 11 and 12 fit here admirably. We will now turn back to page 4 and consider the lowest section (c) of pages 4 to 12, which like pages 5b-12b (I omit 4b here because its contents are of an entirely different nature) contain 7 Tonalamatls, that is, five ritual years of 364 days. If, however, we add 4b to these and bear in mind that 10c-11c contain a double Tonalamatl, we will have 9 Tonalamatls. We find a group of 7 Tonalamatls also on pages 51a-52a. Pages 4c-5c. XII 10 IX 22 V 11 III 9 XII Cauac Chuen Akbal Men Manik. The incorrect 10 of the manuscript has been changed to 9. The hieroglyphs are as follows:-- 1 2 5 6 9 10 13 14 3 4 7 8 11 12 15 16. and there are four figures of gods. The sign of the rising Moan with its usual prefix and superfix (_d_) forms the principal part of this section, the meaning of which, however, is not yet very intelligible. This sign appears not merely as the 1st, 5th, 9th and 13th hieroglyphs, but all the four gods hold it in their hands. Placed after each of these signs are hieroglyphs 2, 6, 10 and 14, which are the double Manik or hand sign denoting a sacrifice (_i_). The first god portrayed here is G, the sun-god, and the third hieroglyph is his sign, which is rendered yet more unmistakable here by the laterally elongated head _q_, the meaning of which is not yet wholly determined. The second god is D with his two signs in 7 and 8. 7 designates him rather as night and moon-god and 8 more as the old god and lord of the gods. The third god is the serpent deity H or Seler's "young god." His sign is hieroglyph 11, with which, to be sure, the unusual sign 12 (_v_) appears as a not very intelligible determinative. The fourth god is A and his usual signs are given in 15 and 16. Pages 5c--6c. This is the second example in our manuscript of a Tonalamatl divided into four parts:-- XII 29 II 11 XIII 18 V 7 XII Ezanab Akbal Lamat Ben Ezanab. The repetition of the 15th day at the end is superfluous.
