jaw. In its place a symbol is inserted which in the first specimen is of vege 
table origin, while the second has a fire emblem. Before the face of the full 
figure appears an emblem which is very similar to the one which the sun god 
of the Dresden Codex generally possesses (text figure 2). The head variant 
has quite another symbol in front, but similar to the one he has in the mouth. 
Probably this solar deity is the same represented by the text figures 3 and 4.

Textfig. 3 and 4. Heads of a Solar Deity. Dresden Codex 49. 
The fire or vegetable symbol is replaced by another one which also has relation 
to fire. A double flame is drawn before the nose of the variant text figure 4. 
Is this deity of the uinal Pax the Cit-Chac-Coh mentioned by Landa in his de 
scription of the feasts held during this time period? 
The Initial Series 9.17.10.0.0, 12 Ahaa 8 Pax, follows the Introducing 
Sign whose central part is fig. 1. For fig. 2 the Initial Series is 9.6.10.0.0, 8 
Ahau 13 Pax. More or less indistinct human heads, associated with a Pax 
date, are also found on Stelae 1 (left), 8 (left) and 40 (left) at Piedras Negras, 
Stela 1 at Tuluum, Stela 13 at Naranjo and Stela 10 at Tikal. 
The head that serves as Uinal Indicator for Kayab is a definite and 
easily recognizable type. It is evidently the same head that symbolizes the 
number one (see Bowditch 1910, plate 16), that is the head of a woman with 
an adornment on the forehead and locks over the ear. As such she was al 
ready determined by Goodman (1897, p. 42). 
The first head for Kayab we find on the east side of Stela A at Qui- 
rigua with the Initial Series 9.17.5.0.0, 6 Ahau 13 Kayab. The second, also 
from Quirigua, appears on Stela E (west side) over 9.14.13.4.17, 12 Caban 5 
Kayab. Fig. 3, again from Quirigua, represents the same date on Stela F 
(west). From Copan comes the next figure and the date 6 Ahau 18 Kayab 
(Stela C). The last head is also on a Copan monument, Stela 5, and although 
the Initial Series is badly damaged, the month date is clearly 18 Kayab. (See 
Morley 1920, plate 19 c.) 
For the last uinal, Cumku, we have another time a variant of the head 
of a mythical serpent, the distinctive feature evidently being the ornament in 
the posterior part. 
Fig. 1 accompanies the Initial Series 9.17.0.0.0, 13 Ahau 18 Cumku on 
Stela E (east side) at Quirigua. The second specimen is also from Quirigua,
