To permit the entire six Dresden codex pages 24, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 to be seen within the purview of a single page, the Gates restoration is here photographed together with a partial translation (Fig. 7). This facilitates following the procedure detailed on pages 94–8 of “Maya Astronomy“ by Dr. John E. Teeple1 and on pages 209–13 of “Astronomical Tables of the Maya” by Dr. Maud W. Makemsen, for predicting the four Venus phase limits; and is intended to supplement the writer's discussion on pages 35–8 of American Antiquity (Vol. XII, July, 1946).

The English rendering of Maya day names and month names may assist the student unfamiliar with these particular hieroglyphs in the original manuscript.
