TYPES OF THE CLUBS. 29 
in a rough fashion. This qualifies the measurements of the circumfer- 
ence of the head, as shown in table rr. 
All but three pieces (3175, 3783, and 2481) exhibit in varying degrees 
the persistence of the descending tap-root already animadverted upon. 
In every case it is dealt with independently of the treatment of the 
head; its rootlets are cut off flush with the surface and are not dis- 
cernible, except upon minute examination of the grain; the surface is 
polished; from the raw material it is shaped into a smooth cylinder or 
acone. Figure 41n Plate V shows the least trace of art; figure 3 repre- 
sents the highest development of the treatment of this element. It 
has not seemed advisable to discuss the length of these end-pieces, but 
the shape of the end may be noted: domed, 3782 ¢, 1974, 2483, 2485, 
2479; cylinder with end cut square, 3100; conical, 2480. : 
The haft in this type is characteristically unflanged and cut square, 
except that 2479 is domed; 2484 has a slightly domed cap; and 3175 (in 
this as in most details only temporarily associated with the type) ends 
in a flat knob. None of these pieces has perforation, a fact which is 
conditioned by the shape and size of the club and equally by the do- 
mestic architecture of Fiji and Tonga, from which the type derives. 
Any one of theseclubscan bestood upin acorner, and the houses of these 
two archipelagoes differ from those of Samoa in having side-walls and 
resultant corners. Neither has any of them a trace of the lug, and for 
the same reason; it is not necessary to suspend such a club when a cor- 
ner is within easy reach.
