XX.- NO. 492 such as the parrot eye, the biting mouth, and the mole-like teeth, the curved liue of 'the serpent's body, a-nd the beauti- ful outlines of the antennce of the bee, also its stiug, and last, not least, the graceful leaf of the maize, and other inat- ural forms wbich are symnbols of fertility. It may be interesting to remark that the phonetic value of the antennce of the bee was suggested by the third 'glypb, Cauac, onl the Kukuitz bas-relief,7 left-band side of the Casa No. 3, Palenque. This 'glyph was traced to more demotic forms on plate 25 of the Troano, also plate 24, wbere it is upbeld by the Goddess Cab. Near the figure of Cab is the same infant-like figure that is to be seen on the so-called tablet of the cross of Palenque. The component characters of the 'glypbs composing this child's body refer to bis name as Ikilcab, aDd this same -name is expressed on the bead- dress aud bieroglypbs of the God-witb-the-lonig-nose of the Troano, and other manuscripts, so-called by students to dis- tinguish him. Ikilcab, and Cauac, the Cuch-haab, are in some wvay clearly connected, for the components of the Cauac 'glyph of the day-sigDs of Landa and those of the Chilan Ba]aani of Klaua are closely connuected with those of Caban. The Cauac 7glypb, if my interpretation be correct, reads Ikileab. The ancient Mayas probably thougbt of the bee as Ikil, the .sting, and Cab, honey. The 'glyph of the day-sigin, Caban, refers to that dayr-sign and Ikilcab, and is also the boney sign (" Bee Kleeper's Narrative," the Codex Troano). The numeral signs of the Troana, both red and black, seem to bave been used at times ikonoraatically. The serpent symbol on plate 25, division I, Troano, is Caan, and close to it are numerals giving the suggestion Hunakbu, the oDe God. On the sun symbol of this plate are numerals, wbhich, in connection with the flute 'glyph (Chuxl) projecting above the sun-disk and the hand below pinching the ma- chete, suggest the interpretation " a name," Chu kul-ca- can. Alliteration and syncapation for the sake of euphony are especially noticeable iu the Maya language, but do not seem to be followed in the arrangement of their grapbic charac- ters, and no regularity of procedure, in reading the compo- nent parts of a 'glypb, seems to exist. As a general tbing, however, some object carried in the hanld of a figure, or placed near it, serves as a sort of a determination or sugges- tion; this is more-frequently the case in the demotic than bieratic script.
