The last among these 25 seems to illustrate a transformation from the ordinary type of kiore to a shark. Possibly this glyph alludes to the Sharks who Walked on Land:

... Here, in a very condensed form, is a typical Fijian myth of the origin of the current ruling clan (mataqali): A handsome, fair-skinned stranger, victim of an accident at sea, is befriended by a shark who carries him ashore on the south coast of Viti Levu. The stranger wanders into the interior where he is taken in by a local chieftain, whose daughter he eventually marries. From this union springs the line of Noikoro ruling chiefs, the narrator of the story being the tenth descendant on that line. He and his clansmen are called 'The Sharks' (Na Qio)... It is all as in the Hawaiian proverb: 'A chief is a shark that travels on land'...

... Yesterday evening I happened to learn from the Life series on TV that in the extreme south of Africa there are baboons who are living in a tough environment with scarce food resources. They had learned that at the time of spring flood (about every fortnight) it was possible, when the sea was drawing back, to go out among the kelp otherwise inaccessible in order to search for sharks' eggs, a very nutricient food. I remembered from ika hiku: ... Mermaid's purses (also known as Devil's Purses) are the egg cases of skates, sharks and rays. They are among the common objects which are washed up by the sea. Because they are lightweight, they are often found at the furthest point of the high tide. The eggcases that wash up on beaches are usually empty, the young fish having already hatched out ... The 'living purses' are far out, but the empty ones are high up on the beach. This makes the image of a shark's egg useful as a symbol ... The peculiar idea of chiefs being 'sharks who walk on land' fits with finding empty cases high up on the beach, the inhabitants evidently having moved inlands ...
