TYPES OF THE CLUBS. 71 
While these clubs show a range of nearly 7 inches in total length, 
the length to the cross-rib lies within 2 inches, apparently a proof that 
the rib-ends were to serve as the effective point in delivering the stroke. 
All the hafts are flanged except 2291 and 2499; these also lack lugs along 
with 2286; the lugs are triangular and pierced in 2285, 2287, and 2284, 
pentagonal and pierced in 2283. Diagonal perforation is found with- 
out lug in 2286, and in 2287, after the septum of the lug had been shat- 
tered, a diagonal perforation was added. The hafts are cut square, 
except that 2284 is cupped and 2499 has a flat cap after the Fijian 
manner. 
The critical dimensions of these 7 clubs are presented in table 32.
