Analysis. — An interesting peculiarity of this song is the difference 

 in tempo of voice, and drum, the latter being slightly the slower. 

 The song showed no differences in the several renditions. The melody 

 tones are those of the fourth hve-toned scale. Of the intervals 

 52 per cent are major seconds and 35 per cent minor thirds; the 

 remaining three intervals are upward progressions of a major third, 

 a fourth, and a fifth. The character of the song is hvely and entirely 

 unlike the earher songs of this group. 



The following song concerning a dream of a buffalo was sung by 

 Old Bufl'alo. In this and the four succeeding numbers the song 

 remains, but the story of the dream is lost.
