Following are two other examples of native music, the first of 

 which is the " melody " used in playing noeta, and the second, one of 

 the Denes' pastime songs which, as will be seen, are little more than 

 polished yells, both are without words.

In fine, I give below for the sake of comparison the great " barcarolle" 

 or boating song of the Carriers. It is of modem though D^n^ origin, 

 and this circumstance will explain the fact that in spite of the irregular- 

 ity of the finale, both rhythm and melody are more consonant with our 

 musical ideas and evince intercoui'se with white singers.
