Chauvet - Figure Legends[FONT="]
N.B. The label on the [/FONT]reimiro in Figure 86, written by Loti, reads as follows: “In 1872, I found this boomerang, which undoubtedly came from Australia, on Easter Island, which is located, as everyone knows, half way between South America and Oceania, 800 leagues from the closest land and 3,000 leagues from Australia, and on which there are no trees and, thus, no wood. A cursory inspection of this weapon suffices to confirm its great antiquity. The presence of this boomerang on Easter Island provides a very curious insight into the migrations of the peoples of the Pacific Ocean long ago. Pierre LOTI”
