TYPES OF THE CLUBS. 27 
This set of measurements is essentially comparable throughout the 
clubs of whatever type. We shall therefore postpone its consideration 
to the later period, when we can discuss it generally upon the basis of 
data derived from the whole collection. 
The next measurements deal with the circumference of the shaft at 
the point where the head-mass has become distinct. This position is

not definitely fixed in the structure of the weapon; therefore there may 
be variety of opinion as to the exact spot at which the measurement 
should be taken; accordingly the results lack positive value. 
These measurements are not properly comparable with those of 
table 4, for a new factor has here been introduced. In the billets the 
center of gravity affects the shape of the club, which in that case is all 
shaft. Here the center of gravity is adjusted to a composite of shaft

and head. Accordingly, the measurements do not mean the same 
thing as in the billets; yet a comparison is profitable as fixing the popu- 
larity of certain shapes of club-shaft. Making due allowance for the 
difference in the number of pieces in each group, we find that in the 
fifth inch the billets are four times as numerous; in the sixth and sev- 
enth they are about even; but in the eighth inch the rootstocks are 
four times as numerous. As before, we tabulate, in table 9, the differ- 
ence in circumference between the two points of the shaft. 
In comparison with the similar statistics of the billets, we find in the 
rootstocks a trifle under half and in the billets about the same trifle
