Abstract
0. The system of numeral classifiers in the Chontal of Tabasco was described in a recent article by Kathryn C. Keller.' A similar system is found in the related Chol2 language, which is spoken by the southern neighbors of the Chontal Indians. There is a striking difference between the Chontal and Chol numeral systems, however, in that Chol has a well developed numeral system which is basically vigesimal with a further subdivision in decimal form, whereas numbers beyond six do not occur in Chontal.3 This presentation is designed to described the high-layered numeral system in Chol and to show a few of the similarities between the Chol and Chontal systems.
