In this ordering of the data we find such a smooth series of muta- 
tion that we have no difficulty in including so remote a variant as the 
tor series of Torres Strait. To what extent these aliens have debased 
the Polynesian currency in their borrowing is strangely shown in the 
Motu lakatoz, Polynesian vaka boat and tolu three; yet in the ceremonial 
voyages across the Gulf of Papua, in the annual barter of pots for sago, 
they lash three hulls abeam and navigation confirms the obscure phi- 
lology. In Malaysia the more primitive languages employ tolo and telo, 
but the pure Polynesian type of tolu appears in a sufficient list of lan- 
guages to establish its persistence in this area. 
I am now prepared to offer a genetic hypothesis in explanation of 
this folu three. In the rigid order of logical development of any such 
argument this should follow and depend upon such a dissection of the 
inner content of /va two as I have been able to demonstrate in the case 
of tastone. Up to the present, that clear comprehension of the primal 
signification of /ua has eluded my study. Yet I have the less hesitation 
in presenting this analysis of tolu at the present time extra ordinem
