[113] In most of the examples presented in this chapter the full inscription is not shown, only that part of the text illustrating the particular point in question being given. For this reason reference will be made in each case to the publication in which the entire inscription has been reproduced. The full text on Zoömorph P at Quirigua will be found in Maudslay, 1889-1902: II, pls. 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59, 63, 64.
[114] All glyphs expressed in this way are to be understood as inclusive. Thus A1-B2 signifies 4 glyphs, namely, A1, B1, A2, B2,
[115] The introducing glyph, so far as the writer knows, always stands at the beginning of an inscription, or in the second glyph-block, that is, at the top. Hence an Initial Series can never precede it.
[116] The Initial Series on Stela 10 at Tikal is the only exception known. See pp. [123]-[127].
[117] As will appear in the following examples, nearly all Initial Series have 9 as their cycle coefficient.
[118] In the present case therefore so far as these calculations are concerned, 3,900 is the equivalent of 1,427,400.
[119] It should be remembered in this connection, as explained on pp. [47], [55], that the positions in the divisions of the year which the Maya called 3, 8, 13, and 18 correspond in our method of naming the positions of the days in the months to the 4th, 9th, 14th, and 19th positions, respectively.
[120] As stated in footnote 1, p. [152], the meaning of the Supplementary Series has not yet been worked out.
[121] The reasons which have led the writer to this conclusion are given at some length on pp. [33]-[36].
