36 CLUB TYPES OF NUCLEAR POLYNESIA. 
the heads of certain larger clubs; in 3785 a we encounter a different 
V-perforation, an inverted V, in which the point is on the head of the 
club near the edge and the two limbs appear upon the shaft near the 
head. Particular interest attaches to the imperfect inverted V in 
3786, for it presents evidence as to the manner in which this perfora- 
tion is made—one diagonal is completed, the other has been started 
from the side of the shaft, but not yet fully pierced. 
Apparently the ring and knob with which the heads of the wheel and 
patterned types are finished persists as mere ornament, but it will 
complete the record by listing the circumference. These measurements 
are probably not comparable inter se; they are to be studied in relation 
to the total circumference of the head, even if for no higher purpose 
than the study of proportion which satisfies the art sense of the club- 
wright.
