[242] If there should be two or more columns of day signs the topmost sign of the left-hand column is to be read first.

[243] In the original this last red dot has disappeared. The writer has inserted it here to avoid confusing the beginner in his first acquaintance with a tonalamatl.

[244] This and similar outlines which follow are to be read down in columns.

[245] The fifth sign in the lower row is also a sign of the Death God (see fig. [3]). Note the eyelashes, suggesting the closed eyes of the dead.

[246] The last sign Chuen, as mentioned above, is only a repetition of the first sign, indicating that the tonalamatl has re-entered itself.

[247] As previously stated, the order of reading the glyphs in columns is from left to right and top to bottom.

[248] The right-hand dot of the 13 is effaced.

[249] The manuscript has incorrectly 7.

[250] In the title of plate [30] the page number should read 102 instead of 113.

[251] The manuscript incorrectly has 24.
