 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith a memoir bearing the 

 title "Chippewa Music — II," by Miss Frances Densmore, and to 

 recommend its publication as Bulletin 53 of the Bureau of American 

 Ethnology. This paper embodies the results of the author's final 

 studies of the music of the Chippewa, or Ojibwa, Indians, and supple- 

 ments the material published as Bulletin 45. This latter publication 

 has met with high favor among students of primitive nmsic through- 

 out the world, and some of the material contained therein has been 

 adapted and presented by orchestras. 

 Yours, very respectfully, 



F. W. HoDCxE, 



Ethnologist in Charge. 

 Hon. Charles D. Walcott, 



Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
