Turning again to our table and running down the column of the first month to the number 13 we find that it is _Chuen_, which is followed by 1 _Eb_. Turning again to the plate we observe that the character immediately above Chuen[TN-4] is _Eb_.,[TN-5] and that it has adjoining it below a single dot, or 1. Running from thence down the line of dots toward the center we reach _Kan_, immediately above which is the character for 13. Turning again to our table and starting with the 1 opposite _Eb_ and running to the bottom of the column which ends with 7 and passing to 8 at the top of the second column, and running down this to 13, or following down our list of days (Table II), we find it to be _Kan_, which is followed by 1 _Chicchan_. On the plate we see the character for _Chicchan_ (No. 35) immediately above that of _Kan_ (No. 34), with a single small dot touching it above. Running from this upward along the row of large dots toward the outer corner we next reach the character for _Caban_ (No. 36), adjoining which we see the numeral character for 13. [Illustration: PL. II THE TABLEAU DES BACAB RESTORED.] Running our eye down the second column of the table, from 1 opposite _Chicchan_ to 13, we find it is opposite _Caban_, thus agreeing with what we find in the plate. This will enable the reader to follow up the names and numbers on the table as I will now give them from _Caban_ (No. 36), in the manner above shown, remembering that the movement on the plate is around the circle toward the left, that is, up the right side, toward the left on the top, down the left side, &c., and that, on the tables, after one column is completed we take the next to the right. From _Caban_ (No. 36) we go next to _Ezanab_ No. 37 (the single dot is here effaced); then down the row of dots to _Oc_, No. 38, over which is the numeral for 13; then to _Chuen_, No. 39, immediately to the left (the single dot is dimly outlined immediately above it); then up the row of large dots to _Akbal_ No. 40 (the numeral character for 13 is immediately to the right); then to _Kan_ No. 1, immediately to the left (the single dot adjoins it on the right); then to the left along the border row of dots to _Cib_ No. 2, in the upper left-hand corner, immediately under which we find the numeral character for 13. [Illustration: FIG. 2.--Scheme of the Tableau des Bacab.] Without following this further, I will now give a scheme or plan of the plate (Fig. 2), adding the names of the effaced characters, which the table enables us to do by following it out in the manner explained. I also give in Plate II another figure of the plate of the Cortesian Codex, with the effaced characters inserted, and the interchange of _Caban_ and _Eb_ which will be hereafter explained. This plate corresponds with the plan or scheme shown in Fig. 2.[4] In this we commence with Kan, numbered 1, in the top row, moving thence toward the left as already indicated, following the course shown by the numbers.
