Analysis. — The distinct minor character of this song is of interest. 

 The fourth and seventh tones of the octave are lackhig in the malody. 

 It will be noted that these are the tones omitted from the fourth 

 five-toned sculc, whicli is major in tonality, while this song is minor 

 in tonality, the third and sixth being minor intervals. This tone- 

 matorial is found in four Chippewa songs (see Table 6a) ; it is con- 

 sidered in Bidletin 53 (p. 188). Similar songs of the present series 

 are Nos. 73, 89, 115, 126, 194. The interval of the fourth is promi- 

 nent, comprising about one-fourth of the entire number of intervals. 

 Two rhythmic units occur, but have no resemblance to each other. 

 It has been noted that when several rhythmic units appear in a song 

 they usually have some characteristics in common.

Analysis. — This song is major in tonality, yet the mmor third 

 constitutes more than half the entire number of intervals. This 

 peculiarity is of frequent occurrence in the present series and 

 was noted among the Chippewa songs. (See BuUetm 53, p. 

 263.) All the tones of the octave except the seventh are present
