The Mahommedan year is a lunar one, about 11 days shorter than the Christian; allowance must be made for this in translating Hegira dates into Christian dates; thus A.H.

It has thus come to pass that "The Removal" is a great epoch in our annals—our Hegira—the A. U. C. of all Quodlibetarians.

It was his Hegira, whence he returned a full-fledged Prophet of the French.

Father Montoya, chief Jesuit, has left an account of the Hegira which he led down the river.
