86 CLUB TYPES OF NUCLEAR POLYNESIA. 
take the length along the lower curve from haft to head and disregard 
the length from haft to lip, which sometimes agrees and sometimes 
varies. Recognizing this element of uncertainty, we now assemble 
in table 36 the length over all for the pieces which have been exhaus- 
tively studied in this work. In the first column we note the length to 
the nearest quarter inch; in the second column we sum the number of 
pieces for each inch and the fractions thereof; in the third we note the 
pieces from which the measurements derive.

For purposes of summation I have grouped these figures by hand- 
breadths. This is not wholly empirical, for I have observed in Samoa 
and in Rotuma, and probably elsewhere, although my recollection of 
the incident is not so clear, men measuring off a stick of timber by 
successive hand-grasps. ‘The method is still practiced by the savages
