ROOTSTOCK TYPE. 
Plate II, b, c. Provenience: Fiji, Tonga. 
The same simplicity of interpretation of the source as characterizes 
the billet clubs is manifest on inspection of the 16 pieces here grouped. 
In the former class we find the convenient branch reduced to a seemly 
Shape. Here we have the convenient sapling wrested from the soil 
when need of assault arises. The humus of these islands of recent 
vulcanism is found most substantially in depressions of the rock and is 
frequently mixed with rock fragments. The growing sapling throws 
out its roots in every direction immediately below the surface and thus 
secures immediate support and sustenance, while the tap-root is push- 
ing downward through the humus-bed and possibly into interstices of 
the underlying rock-stratum. Conditioned by the same factor of ter- 
rain, certain trees spread at the surface of the ground into flanges 
around the stem and at maturity are surrounded by radiant buttresses 
many feet in extent around the base—enormous natural planks. ‘This 
tendency is manifest early in the growth of the tree. These two 
forms are present in these clubs. Plate V 4 exhibits the type of imme- 
diate root-growth, 5 and 6 the flanges of the stem. In 4 the roots have 
been trimmed so as more effectively to add to the weapon value of the
