13, is 91, a multiple of 13. The middle line of numerals also connects with the XIII attached to the bottom symbols of the day columns; and the upper line of numerals connects with the III attached to the top symbols of the day columns. Plates 70 to 73 present some peculiarities difficult to account for. That these pages belong to the same type as 62, 63, and 64 cannot be doubted, and that as a general rule they are to be read from right to left is easily proved; but this method does not seem to be adopted throughout, the order being apparently reversed in a single series. The aboriginal artist has apparently made up these pages from two older manuscripts or changed and added to his original. The last two columns of Plate 70 and first five of 71 appear to have been thrust in here as an afterthought or as a fragment from some other source, forming apparently no legitimate connection with the series to either the right or to the left of them. It is true, as will be shown, that there is some connection with the lowest series on the right, but it would seem that advantage was here taken of accidental correspondence rather than that this correspondence was the result of a preconceived plan. Commencing in the lower part of the middle division of Plate 73 and running back (to the left) to the sixth column of 71 and returning to the lower part of the lower division of 73 and ending with the sixth column of 71, is the following series. The columns are given in the order in which they stand on the respective plates, but the plates are taken in reverse order: TABLE XXIII.--_Table giving comparison between Plates 71, 72, and 73._ _______________________________________________________________________________ | First | Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | | | column. | column. |column. | column. | column. | | ---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+--------- Plate 73,| 16 | 13 | 9 | 6 | 3 | -- | -- middle | 5 | 0 | 15 | 10 | 5 | -- | -- division |IV Caban.| IV Eb. |IV Manik.| IV Ik. |IV Caban.| -- | -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________________________________________ | First | Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | Sixth |Seventh | column.
