ADDITIONS AND ORNAMENT. 145 
visualizes as distinct entities the trunk and the hips. This view 
accounts for the second mark in picturing the body in figure 130, and 
makes clear in the figures of which 139 has been selected as the type 
that the man is not in unstable equilibrium and that the horizontal 
members are not his thighs, but the attempt to give due prominence 
to the hips, exactly as in the frequent case of the axilla as entailing 
an extra joint. That this is the artist’s opinion is confirmed by 
several drawings in which the legs are represented as disjointed from 
the trunk and in which the hips go with the legs. Accordingly, in 
this list of treatment of the trunk it is to be understood as applying 
to only so much of the body as lies between the axilla and the upper 
rim of the pelvis. Itissocommonly represented by a triangle that it is 
not necessary to cite such cases. 
Columnar: Nos. 117, 122, 128, 129, 130, 135, 140, 144, 145. 
Circular: No. 129. 
In general the hips are represented by a straight line not quite as 
long as that which stands for the shoulders, and from the ends of this 
line depend the legs. Variants from the general type are here listed: 
Curved hips: Nos. 98, 111, 119, 122, 138, 144. 
Hips absent: Nos. 109, 110, 112-116, 118, 120, 121, 125, 129, 131, 135, 143, 145. 
Attached to legs: Nos. 129, 132, 137. 
Detached: No. 130. 
The legs are commonly represented as right lines at right angles 
with hip and shoulder lines. We note these variants: 
Flexed at knee: Nos. 106, 109, 110, 114, 116, 118, 120, 121, 125. 
Curved: Nos. 110, III, 144. 
Convergent: Nos. 99, 101-105, 108, 117, 127, 136, 139, 145. 
Divergent: Nos. 112, 113, 119, 129, 130, 137, 142-144. 
Wishbone type: Nos. 115, 123, 124, 126, 134, 135, 142. 
In general the feet are represented as outward lines at right angles 
to the legs; in a few cases there is the suggestion of an instep, yet 
that may be due merely to clumsiness in carving, and for that reason 
no attempt has been made to tabulate these cases. In some cases the 
extremity of the legs engages with detail of the general ornament, and 
it has been impossible to determine the existence of feet; yet there are 
a few instances in which feet are clearly absent. 
Upward: Nos. 99, 114, 125, 137. 
Downward: Nos. 106, 109, 110, 113, II7, I2I. 
Forward: No. 120. 
Lacking: Nos: 107:427,\129;) 133: 
Clubbed: Nos. 110, 141. 
There seems to be a slight attempt to indicate the genitalia in 
figures 108, 129, and 133. We observe that in Nuclear Polynesia 
these parts are omitted from design with great insistence, being in 
sharp contrast with the Polynesian communities of the later migra-
