The year is divided into four seasons; the spring being called Peughen, the summer Ucan, the autumn Gualug, and the winter Pucham.  The natural day is divided into twelve parts or hours, called gliaganiu, six of which belong to the day and six to the night, all of which have particular names.  Commencing at midnight, there are Puliuen, Ueun, Thipanantu, Maleu, Vutamaleu, Ragiantu, Culunantu, Gullantu, Conantu, Guvquenantu, Puni, Ragipun.  The stars in general are named huaglen, which they distribute into constellations called pal or ritha.  The pleiades are named Cajupal, or the constellation of six; the antarctic cross Meleritho, the Constellation of four, and so on.  The milky-way is named Rupuepen, the fabulous road.  The planets are called gau, a word derived from gaun to wash, as they suppose them to dip into the sea when they set; and some conceive them to be other earths inhabited like our own.  The sky is called Guenu-mapu, or the heavenly country; the moon Cuyenmapu, or the country of the moon.  Comets are called Cheruvoc, as believed to be terrestrial exhalations inflamed in the upper region of the air.  The eclipses of the sun and moon are called Lay-antu and Lay-cujen, or the deaths of the sun and moon.

Their measures of length are the nela or palm, the duche or foot, namun the pace, the can the ell, and tupu the league, which answers to the marine league or the pharasang of the Persians:  But they estimate long distances by mornings, corresponding to our days journeys.  The liquid measures are the guampar, about a quart; can about a pint; and the mencu, which is still smaller.  The dry measures are the chiaique, about six pints; and the gliepu_, which is double that quantity.
