[ 4] Quiahuitl. [14] Atl.
[ 5] Xochitl. [15] Itzcuintli.
[ 6] Cipactli. [16] Ozomatli.
[ 7] Ehecatl. [17] Malinalli.
[ 8] Calli. [18] Acatl.
[ 9] Cuetzpalin. [19] Ocelotl.
[10] Coatl. [20] Quauhtli.
This calendar begins the year _Acatl_ with Cipactli to correspond with
what I believe to have been the plan on which the Fejervary plate was
made; this, as will be seen, does not agree with what is generally
supposed to have been the usual method. The following table of days can
be used for either year, but commences as the Acatl years in the
preceding calendar.
