EASTER ISLAND. 



In this table comparison shows quite clearly that the Rapanui 

 element of Mangareva associates most closely with the Paumotu, and 

 that in the element not found in Rapanui the Mangarevan associates 

 most closely with the Marquesas. 



The next table contains those identifications which are not found 

 outside Southeast Polynesia: 



Table i i . 



Postulating the greater age of this element which has passed from 

 Polynesian memory without this province, we find that each element of 

 the Mangarevan in its elder stock exhibits a marked affinity for the 

 Marquesan, then for Tahiti and for the Paumotu, in order, and to prac- 

 tically equal extent in each subdivision. 



After the same manner we group the three rearward elements: 



Table 12. 



Last of all, we determine the relation of these three external iden- 

 tifications to the mass of Mangarevan identifications.
