Analysis. — This song contains one accidental tone, which occurs 

 only in the introductory measures. Considerable freedom is allowed 

 the singer in beginning a song. The portion of the song following 

 the word ' ' Mide' wiwin " is recorded seven times, each 

 repetition returning to the point indicated and com- 

 pleting the circuit with no variation except that the 

 two measures between the double bar and the word 

 " Mide'wiwin " are once omitted. The transfer of 

 the accent from the second to the first syllable of the 

 first word is clearly marked. The melodic progres- 

 sions are of slight importance and the intonation is 

 faulty, the transition from one tone to another being 

 frequently glissando, but the metrical repetition of one word is con- 

 tinuous and emphatic.

Analysis. — The rhythm of this song is so irregular 

 as to make it difficult of transcription. The tempo 

 is rapid and the accents are slight. The phono- 

 graph record contains four renditions of this song, which are iden- 

 tical in every respect, both the peculiarity of the melody and
