44 CLUB TYPES OF NUCLEAR POLYNESIA. 
of Viti Levu near the upper waters of the Sigatoka River, and I have 
the authority of Ratu Lala for the statement that this form of club was 
restricted to these mountain folk, the most thoroughly Melanesian of 
all the inhabitants of the archipelago. As compared with the other 
clubs it is light, its shaft is oval in section and so small as to be com- 
pletely encircled by the clutch of fingers; it is crowded with features 
which appear in no other club. Because of the many complexities 
which it presents, the detail of measurements has been made very com- 
plete. Those measurements which are principally comparable have 
been amassed in a tabular view (table 20) covering all three specimens 
in one conspectus.

We shall have to subject these three pieces to such intensive exami- 
nation in another relation that it scarcely seems advisable to do more 
at this point than to supplement this tabular view with the record of 
each of the specimens. 
Shaft: Straight; angle with head 20°; length over all 37.5 inches, of shaft 
proper 29 inches; oval section; circumference at haft 4 inches, at head 5.25 
inches, flanging sharply to 6.5 inches; without ornament. 
Socket: 3 inches wide at shaft, 4.5 inches distal; thickness P 3362.
