There is another symbol closely allied in form (plate LXVI, 2) which is of frequent occurrence in the codices, usually, and, in fact, almost exclusively, in the picture spaces, and apparently bearing some relation to the offerings. It is often in groups, and is many times repeated in groups on the so-called "title pages" of the Tro. and Cort. manuscripts. It, however, frequently occurs in the form seen in the dog's eye (LXVI, 1), grouped as the other (Dres., 25a, etc) and undoubtedly used as an equivalent, as we find numerals attached as with the other form. The only distinction, as will be observed, is the presence or absence of the little divided square at the top. As that with the divided square is more detailed, it is probably the correct form, and, if so, can not be distinguished from the _Chuen_ symbol. On Dres. 29b, 30b, and 31b the symbol shown in plate LXVI, 3, is found in each group of characters. This bears a close resemblance to the symbol for the month _Tzec_, but varies in some important respects, as will be seen by comparison. The appendix, as I am inclined to believe, gives the _ah_, _ha_, or _hal_ sound, and shows that it is a verb or word indicating action. As we find in each group the figure or symbol of a food animal, the whole series may be supposed to relate to feasts, or eating, or the collection of food. This suggestion is strengthened by the fact that the _kan_ or maize symbol is placed in connection with the animal figures. It is possible, therefore, that this character may be correctly rendered by _tziclim_ (_tziclimtah_), "to distribute, share, divide among many." As it is followed in each case by a cardinal-point symbol, and the symbol of the double tongued or toothed deity, probably Itzamna, is found in each group, it is probable that the text relates to religious festivals. This interpretation, however, is a mere suggestion or guess, which as yet I am unable to fortify by any other evidence than the resemblance of the main character to the _Tzec_ symbol. [Illustration: PL. LXVI COPIES OF GLYPHS FROM THE CODICES] The Nahuatl, Tzental, and Quiche-Cakchiquel names of this day are the ordinary terms in these languages for "monkey." Dr Brinton thinks the Maya name, which does not appear to have any signification in this language as a separate word (though _chuenche_ is "aborao, tuble," "a certain tree"), is derived from a Tzental term, _chiu_, which is applied to a particular species of monkey. He and Dr Seler refer to the _chouen_ in a legend of the Popol Vuh, which undoubtedly stands in close relation to _batz_ or "monkey," there spoken of as _hunbatz_. As these words in the Quiche myth appear unquestionably to refer to a species of the monkey tribe, or mythical persons under the symbolism of monkeys, the conclusion they reach is probably correct, and justifies the belief that the Maya name should be interpreted "monkey."
