Without being fully prepared to discuss the life history of this 
exclusive pronoun, I have sought to order the material at present avail- 
able in such wise that the system in variety may be suggested. In 
Polynesia we find in the dual and plural exclusive of the first person the 
stem ma in composition with the remnant of the numerals two /ua and 
three folu respectively. In Viti with its three numbers above unity we 
have for the first person exclusive the suite, dual kezrau, trinal keztou, 
plural ketmamz; from this it is clear that kez being common to the suite 
may not exercise the precise numeration of the plurality, although it 
may be found to have a general plural sense; that as rau of the dual 
suggests an artificial variant of rua two and as tou trinal is known to be 
in Polynesian use as an artificial variant of tolu three, therefore kez bears 
the exclusion sense of the composite. ‘Thus we come to a comprehen- 
sion of the Melanesian series from kamam to komom localized in the 
Banks Group. The element mamz does not exactly recur in Melanesia, 
but Volow ige—meam is almost identical, and the eleven forms with 
which the Melanesian list opens are not to be set aside. In Torres 
Strait we find a considerable deposit of a maz type, commonly associ- 
ated with a variant az, and therefore we may not definitely ascribe it to 
aprimalma. Butin the same region we do find ma in three languages. 
Iam as yet unable to resolve the Visayan cama (Bontoc Igorot tjakamz1) ; 
taken as a whole we find it represented in Melanesia in kama, gama, 
gema, most likely in kamai and gamaz, which should serve to link the 
Savo and Torres Strait maz into place, and perhaps in the Banks Group 
series.
