5. The Jaguar.

[Illustration: Fig. 62]

The jaguar is likewise an animal with mythological significance. It is

represented in Dr. 8a, where its hieroglyph is the third sign in the

writing; it also occurs in Dr. 26 (at the top). It occurs in Tro. 17 (at

the end) with a hieroglyph which represents the jaguar's head and

contains the numeral 4 (Fig. 62); again it appears without a hieroglyph

on p. 20 (bottom) and on 21 and 22 (bottom).

Its day is Ix, and hence it also relates occasionally as year regent to

the Ix years, for example in Dr. 26a.
