The third picture is that of the sun-god G; his hieroglyph is the 11th, to which in 12 is added the sign q, the sign for the bad days, with a superfix.
The fourth picture is wanting. According to the 15th hieroglyph it should be the maize deity E. My theory that 16 is the sign for the week of 13 days is supported by the fact that the division into 4 × 13 days is the prevailing one.

This is a Tonalamatl of 4 × 65 days divided as evenly as possible into 5 × 12 + 5. The 5th day added after the 16th must be a mistake (suggested by the 5th day of the last section) for it is usually the first of the days, which is repeated superfluously.
The hieroglyphs are:—
| 1 | 2 | 7 | 11 | 15 | 19 | 23 | |
| 3 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 | |
| 5 | 6 | 9 | 13 | 17 | 21 | 25 | |
| 10 | 14 | 18 | 22 | 26 | . | ||
Contrary to practice the first section has six hieroglyphs, and the other five but four each.
As the characteristic hieroglyph we find in 1, 7, 11, 15, 19 and 23 a sign, the meaning of which is still undetermined and which we shall meet again on page 60, where it may refer to darkness.
The groups have in common, furthermore, the head without an underjaw and the hair gathered up in a tuft in 4, 10, 14, 22 and 25 (in 18 perhaps represented by q, the evil days). We
