44 THE POLYNESIAN WANDERINGS. 



From the 1 88 items of the identification of K ate material with 

 Polynesia, including the Nuclear Polynesian and the most remote 

 terminus of migration, we have withheld for particular note the 

 following interesting items, which, with others of similar import yet 

 to be developed, call for special comment. 



These items are identifications made in Nuclear Polynesia and 

 thence traced, not to distal Polynesia in general, but to particular 

 termini with at least one intervening or intermediary point. We 

 group them as they fall into three classes as southern, eastern and 

 northern swarms.

(Other intermediate points in several items are Mangaia, Rarotonga, Tongarewa, the 

 Paumotu.)

We have next to consider a small but well-marked group of 

 identifications where there is a leap from Efate to distal Polynesia 

 without having left a trace in Nuclear Polynesia except in so far 

 as that may be held to exist in the instances linked to Viti, these 

 being distinguished by V in the list.

Finally we come to a group where identification has been estab- 

 lished in Nuclear Polynesia and in one, and only one, of the per- 

 ipheral languages. In the same classification and with the same 

 notation they are listed in the following table :

In arithmetical summation we find that 324 identifications in 

 this material may be considered quite satisfactorily established as 

 between Efate and Polynesia. Of these there are 69 words in which 

 the Efate word is found in Nuclear Polynesia alone, 191 in which 

 it is general to Polynesia, 1 9 in which it is associated to the northern 

 swarm which has found its ultimate seat in Hawaii, 12 to the 

 eastern swarm, 33 to the southern swarm and a Maori home. 



Now what are the deductions which may justly be drawn from 

 these data?
