DENSMORE] CHIPPEWA MUSIC 75 



In the instance of this song one of the shells was difficult to remove 

 and was found to be in the heart of the person under initiation. As 

 an example of this, a woman stated to the writer that her arm had 

 been lame ever since she was initiated into the Mkle'wiwin. She 

 said that her husband asked her if she was sure that the initiators 

 removed all the shell or "medicine" and stated that if any remained 

 it might produce this lameness, which had continued about thirty 

 years. 



The words of no. 60 refer, of course, to a manido'. 



These songs are in a different style from the three preceding series, 

 yet it is impossible to indicate this in the melody outline, the pro- 

 gressions being about the same. Most of the songs in this series are 

 chanted in a very dignified and impressive manner, producing a pecu- 

 liar effect, quite different from that produced by the same tone 

 material in the form of the more rhythmic songs. 



No. 51 presents the minor triad with minor seventh added. This 

 combination of tones is fully considered elsewhere in this paper (see 

 p. 130). 



No. 52 contains the major triad with the second added, a somewhat 

 unusual feature. 



Nos. 53 and 54, one in the major and the other in the minor, show 

 the octave complete except the seventh. 



No. 55 is on the fourth five-toned scale, and nos. 56 and 57 are on 

 the second five-toned scale, lacking one tone. 



No. 58 is an interesting study of tonality. The ending was given 

 firmly and the melody is particularly effective. 



Nos. 59 and 60 consist of the tones of the fourth five-toned scale 

 with the second lowered, the first song being minor and the second 

 major in tonality.
