Maximum relative sunspot numbers for the 16th and 17th century were computed by means of the dependence of the maximum relative sunspot numbers on the solar cycle rise time and on the cycle asymmetry. In these dependencies four separate modes of relations, two for odd and two for even cycles, were identified. These modes are coupled two and two in even-odd cycle pairs. The rise times and the asymmetries of solar cycles in the 16th and 17th centuries were taken from cycle extreme estimates by Schove (1979), from auroral and telescopic sunspot observations during this period, but with some necessary corrections. Annual relative sunspot numbers and decade averages were estimated from the cycle maxima and the epochs of extremes. In addition, the efficiency of auroral records in latitudes lower than 55 deg was computed for the time interval 1500-1868. For this purpose the dependence of occurrence numbers of aurorae on the cycle and decade means of the relative sunspot numbers was derived.
