The archaeology section of Biologia Centrali-Americana, issued in London from 1889 by Godman and Salvin with Alfred Maudslay's surveys of Maya ruins and J. T. Goodman's study of the calendar, aimed at scholars of Mesoamerican inscriptions. The plates are line copies of glyph blocks from carved stelae and lintels, arranged in grids and columns, with enlarged single cartouches showing day signs, numeral bars and dots, and profile heads; useful as dense pattern fields, ornamental frames, or isolated emblem shapes.
