Musically, this series presents interesting material. The first two 

 ongs are on the second five- toned scale. 



The tonality of no. 45 is of unusual interest. 



Songs nos. 46 and 47 show the octave complete except the seventh, 

 while nos. 48, 49, and 50 show the incomplete five-toned scale men- 

 tioned in the analysis of the first series. The principal interest 

 centers in the first three songs of the series.

The words of this song are idiomatic and a trans- 

 lation was secured with difficulty. The song was 

 recorded at Leech Lake, where two interpreters 

 worked on it. Later the phonograph record was 

 played for Na'waji'bigo'kwe, at White Earth. She drew the song 

 picture and this translation was finally decided on as giving the 

 essential idea of the song.
