It is remarkable that, in a language all the
proper names of which are significant, we should
hardly be able to trace a vestige of the derivation
of the names of the Wukus. For astrological purposes
the thirty wukus are divided into six periods,
each of which is considered to be unpro-
pitious to some portion of animal or vegetable
nature. The Jirst is considered unpropitious to
man, the second to quadrupeds, the third to trees,
the fourth to birds, th e fifth to seeds or vegetables,
and the sixth to fishes. Each of these divisions
has been said to consist of thirty-five days or
seven Javanese weeks, which would roal^e the ancient
Javanese year a cycle of 210 days. - I rather suspect
that it consisted of twice that number, or
420, and that the Wukus expressed fortnights or
half lunations. This interesting point would be
determined by investigations conducted in the
island of Bail, where J have reason to believe
that this civil, or rather ritual year or period
still obtains. When I visited it, I regret that
my previous information did not enable , me to
enter upon the investigation. The eleventh and
twelfth Wukus are also the names of the two
great Balinese festivals, which follow each other
at short intervals. They are periods of joy and
festivity ; and it will be seen, that, in the list of
the Wukus, they are appropriately under the protection
of the Hindu Cupid and Venus*
The rural or rustic year of the Javanese is
much better known than the civil or religious
one. This year, in fact, still obtains in Bali and
Java, as applied to agricultural economy. It is
an embolimic year of 360 days, divided into
months or t rather seasons, (Mangsa in the Javanese
language,) twelve in number of unequal
lengths. These seasons are as follows: *
