Figure 204.—Cross sections, intermediate types:

a (C. 322) shows the steep side on the right, typical of Type I but on the left are the two series of flaking typical of Type II, with the intervening ridge (1) ground off. The right side is also ground. b (C. 792) follows Type I on the right and Type II on the left. The lower part of the right side is ground but the edge (1) between the flaking on the left has not been retouched by grinding. c (C. 791) follows Type II on the left with the intermediate edge (1) ground off whilst the right side has been ground backwards and inwards as in Type IV, a. d, (C. 793) is a quadrilateral adz well ground on the four surfaces. On the left, it follows Type III but on the right, the grinding passes the perpendicular and slopes inwards as in Type IV, a. e (C. 341) from Tutuila shows the reversed quadrangular Type IV, a, with front and back ground and the sides chipped backwards and inwards but with the upper part ground. Attention has been drawn to adz C. 320 which is intermediate between IV, a, and IV, b. See fig. 191.
