and not thus extensive. This variety has been omitted from 
table 45; it will be found noted in the detailed record of the individual 
pieces. 
The difference between semicircular and triangular is not by any 
means well-defined, for it is evident that lack of care in the carving 
will transform any semicircular lug into the triangular form by making 
its sides straight rather than curvilinear. In the same way it is clear 
that the pentagonal and square lugs may evolve from slips in the carv- 
ing or from trimming up lugs which have been shattered by the acci- 
dents of use, gentleness not being particularly characteristic of club 
play. In the carinated club 2285, we find a most unusual position 
for a lug in this province; in addition to the lug in the usual position a 
second is carved upon the shaft near the head.

The perforation of the haft-end shows 3 types which extend over 
Nuclear Polynesia. ‘The simplest is merely the drilling of a hole at 
right angles to the face of the lug and parallel with the surface of the 
club-end; this is found in table 44, under the designation ‘“‘ Transverse.”’ 
Its recorded frequency in Fiji is immaterial, for there are but 2 lugs 
in that group and both show this simple perforation. The second 
perforation in frequency is the V-type, in which the drill is not set 
parallel with the end of the club, but two perforations are made at 
equal angles on each side of the central point and continued until they 
meet below the surface, and in many cases the perforation thus made 
has been rubbed down with a thin strip of the skin of the ray until the 
piercing approximates the semicircular. In Samoa the V-perforation 
occurs in all 7 instances with the lug; in Tonga 4 times with the lug 
and once without; in Fiji all 3 instances are without the lug. The 
diagonal perforation is essentially apart from the lug; it consists of a 
hole bored from the haft-end at such an angle as to come out upon 
the haft near the end. This perforation is found in Samoa in but 2 out 
of 29 perforated clubs, in Tonga in 1 out of 20, but in Fijiin 5 out of 13.
