E sharp (third measure) and that transcribed as E natural (fourth 
measure) is always apparent. The song contains only the tones of 
the minor triad and seventh. Other songs with this tone material 
are Nos. 20, 28, 32, 34, 40, 65, and 79, constituting 8 per cent of the 
entire number of songs. This tone material occurred in three Chip- 
pewa songs, one Sioux song, and two songs of the Northern Utes. 
In material previously analyzed it is a very rare occurrence that 
_a song ends on an unaccented part of the measure. If the final 
tone occurs on that portion of a measure it is prolonged into the 
next measure, but in the present series 26 songs (24 per cent) end 
on an unaccented count and the tone is terminated before the begin- 
ning of the next measure. Songs with this peculiarity are Nos. 12, 
17, 21, 25, 26, 29, 36, 38, 44, 49, 50, 53, 55, 57, 58, 71, 77, 86, 87, 92, 95, 
101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. This song is strongly rhythmic in char- 
acter but contains no rhythmic unit. The principal interval of pro- 
gression is the minor third which constitutes 42 per cent of the 
entire number of intervals.
