370, S, T, U. THREE SMALL BOOMERANGS

S. Boomerang of hard wood; bearing a band of bark covering the centre (? birch). L. 31.0; W. 4.0; thickness (at centre) 1.1 cents. <> section. Skew of arms suggest it to be of the return-type.

T. Boomerang of hard wood; one arm partially covered with bark (? birch). L. 27.0; W. 3.2; thickness (at centre) 1.0; cents. <> section No appreciable skew, possibly a non-return boomerang.

U. Boomerang of hard wood; end of one arm (AB) covered with bark (? birch). L. 26.5; W.3.0; thickness (at centre) 1.3; cents The arms have no skew; the ends AB and DE show a slight turn above the plane and thus the boomerang may possibly be of the return-type.
