error the plank rived from the trunk. In this intermediate stage we 
can do no more than follow inference from our comprehension of the 
methods which the clubwright would follow in reducing as much as 
possible of his arduous toil. Inasmuch as all the clubs of this inter- 
mediate stage are distinguished in or about the head by the thickness, 
more or less pronounced, of the wood, we feel justified in regarding 
their timber source as either the branch or the stem, as might be the 
more convenient in manipulation. 
The first of the intermediates is the mace, no matter what its length, 
characterized by a head of many spikes which may be cut as saw-teeth

into 2 well-marked genera, 2 long and armed with saw-teeth, the others 
short and armed with a manifold supply of cones. ‘The longer weapons

use as a Supplementary weapon; the other by reason of the great weight 
of its head must have required both hands for effective service. Be- 
cause of the paucity of material, which prevents comparison within 
the type, it suffices to show in table 25 only the critical measurements 
and to leave their consideration to a more general treatment later in 
the work. (See Kramer, Samoa, II, 210 n, 0, p, 214 d.)
