Figure 107. Western type of bonito hook point: a, Fanning Island, slight proximal projection (1) and two holes; b, Manihiki, marked proximal projection (1) to carry second hole; c, Manihiki, proximal projection (1) carrying second and third holes, separate hole thus provided for snood which passes through it instead of being looped around base of point, exceptional and follows Samoan and western alternative method; d, Tongareva, broken hole (2) through proximal projection (1) forming groove for second lashing; e, Fagatau, modern, one hole and proximal projection (1) trimmed for second lashing; f, Fagatau, old, no hole, both lashings pass over lengthened proximal projection (1).
