TYPES OF THE CLUBS. at 
drilling is effected by the use of the pump-drill (vili, the whole instru- 
mentin Samoan; vilipa, the drilling-point of a stone flake or tip of 
shark-tooth). These two forms appear in these records as the diagonal 
and V perforation. Each form is found twice among the billet clubs, 
once each in the cupped and flanged pieces, once each in the unflanged 
and uncupped. ‘These specimens are respectively, V-perforation, 3184 
and 3780 d; diagonal, 3144 and 3780¢e. 
A fourth point noted of the haft end is the lug used for suspension. 
This consists of a portion of the end carved into one of several forms 
and either pierced or imperforate, in the latter case serving as a peg 
upon which to wrap the sennit becket. This lug is commonly of a 
thickness of an eighth to a quarter of an inch; it may occupy but a 
small part of the center of the head, or it may extend from edge to 
edge; it may lie in the plane of the blade or vertical thereto, the latter 
mark not being discernible in the billet type, owing to the absence of a 
blade. The lugs in the billet group are three; 3147 a and 3100a have 
five-sided lugs upon domed ends of haft, 3100b an inverted cone ~ 
imperforate upon a dome. 
The section of the shaft is generally circular, and this applies, with a 
few interesting exceptions, to all of the clubs. Two of the billets, 
3184 and 2488, exhibit a well-molded ovoid section. | 
The butts are either cut square or more or less domed. Of the 
Square-cut we note 3184 accompanying a cupped haft and flange, 
3147 and 3780 ¢ accompanying a square-cut and unflanged haft. Of 
the domed butts we note 2265, 3177, 2492, and 3780 e accompanying 
a square-cut and unflanged haft; 3147 a and 2267 accompanying a 
domed and flanged haft; 3100a, 3100), 3780c¢, 3780, and 3780a 
accompanying a domed and unflanged haft; 3144, 3185, 3186, and 
3143 accompanying flanged and cupped haft; 2491, 2489, 2488, and 
2490 accompanying an unflanged and cupped haft. 
In the following notes is a detailed record of the close inspection of 
the several pieces. The numerical order of accession has no perti- 
nence, except for purposes of identification and preservation of the 
classificatory notes; the order of presentation represents the order of 
superficial resemblances of the pieces when laid out for comprehensive 
view. 
Shaft: Length, 42 inches; circumference, haft 4.75 inches, flanging to 
6.75 inches, butt 7.25 inches; ovoid section at haft, major axis 2.67 inches, 
minor axis 1.67 inches; ends, haft deeply cupped, V-perforation, 
butt cut square. + ae 
Ornament: Band-and-zigzag throughout; on flange of haft 4  Ojgman. 
transverse straps; remainder longitudinal bands with 2 single and 
1 double strap at 2.5 and 5.5 inches and at end of ornament; ties of pandanus 
leaf.
