MANGAREVA AS A CENTER OF DISTRIBUTION. 



89 



In sum this table is found in close accord with the correlated Table 

 7 derived from study of the Paumotu, and the divergences in relation 

 to the Rapanui element of the two languages are inconsiderable. But 

 when we compare the non-Rapanui elements we find a noteworthy differ- 

 ence. In the Paumotu the Tongafiti is the stronger element by far; it 

 contributes more than three times as much as the Proto-Samoan ; in 

 Mangarevan the contributions of the two streams are practically equal, 

 yet the Tongafiti element is but half the bulk of that in the Paumotu, 

 and the Proto-Samoan element is twice as great. In the two languages 

 the two elements fall apart by a line of distinct cleavage. The element 

 which is shared with Rapanui may properly be regarded as the migrant 

 element, some homogeneous swarm of adventurers visiting more or less 

 generally this tract of sea, leaving settlements as they passed, and van- 

 ishing from our knowledge in the untracked sea eastward of Easter 

 Island. The other elements in each case may be regarded as the seden- 

 tary populations, probably the earlier settlement upon which is overlaid 

 the influence of the later migrants. The comparison of sedentary ele- 

 ments shows that Mangareva has received twice as much directly from 

 Nuclear Polynesia as has the Paumotu.
