EXPLANATION.- Under or over each year of the century for which that se. month will be found the names or ab quence may be used--old style dates, or breviations for the days of the week, ar reckonings under the Julian Calendar, ranged in seven different orders or se marked at the left; new style dates, ac. quences, reading from left to right. cording to the Gregorian Calendar, at the These are marked as sequence A, se right; thus 16 at left of sequence D shows quence B, and so on. At the right or left that this sequence is to be used for all old of each sequence is given the centurial style dates from 1600 to 1699, as the cate of landing of Pilgrims, Dec. 11, O.

At the right of sequence F, 16 one period, or in two intervals of 6 years shows that this is the sequence for all each, or in one of 7 and another of new style dates in the same period, as the years, after which the regular intervals landing of Pilgrims, Dec. 21, 1620.
