304 COLUMBIAN HISTORICAL EXPOSITION AT MADRID. 



of American Ethnology and Archaeology, Houghton, Miffliu & Co., Boston, two vol 

 umes of which have been already published. 



Copies of the publications are exhibited in this case. 



Volume I, Journal of American Ethnology and Archaeology, contains an article on 

 Zufii melodies, by Mr. B. I. Oilman. This music was taken from the Indian singer by 

 the phonograph. In this case is seen one of the cylinders of the phonograph on which 

 Indian music was taken. The Indians were made to sing in front of the phono 

 graph, and the impressions thus obtained serve to retain the music and were used in 

 writing it. The members of the Hemenway expedition were the first to employ this 

 method.
