In this particular case there is no room fordoubt, since the numeral in G2 is a day coefficient, and day coeffi-cients as stated in Chapter III, can never rise above 13. Conse-quently the number 15 can not be recorded in G2, and this formmust stand for the number 5. Passing over II Jl, I2 J2, Kl Ll, K2 L2, we reach in Ml the clos-ing glyph of the Supplementary Series, here shown with a coeffi-cient of 10, the head having a fleshless lower jaw. The month signfollows in Nl. The coefficient is 3 and by compariag the sign itselfwith the month glyphs ia figure 19, it will be apparent that the signfor Muan in a or V is recorded here. The Initial Series of this monu-ment therefore is 5 Ahau 3 Muan. In closing the presentation of Initial-series texts which show bothhead-variant numerals and period gl
