Analysis. — The compass of tliis song is 17 tones. Among the 

 Chippewa no songs were recorded which had a compass of more 

 than 14 tones, but three songs in the present series have a compass 

 of 17; the others are Nos. 196 and 202. The final tone is faint, but 

 discernible on the phonograph record. Tlie rapid tempo and wide 

 intervals cause more uncertainty of intonation than is usual in these 

 songs. However, in this, as in No. 58, the exactness of the smaller 

 intervals is of less importance than the fact that 27 of the mtervals 

 (37 per cent) are larger than a major third. An equal number of 

 intervals are major seconds, and the remaining 15 intervals are 

 minor thirds. Changes of time occur as indicated. (See song No. 5.) 



No narrative was given with this song. Four dream songs con- 

 cerning deer were recorded among the Chippewa — Nos. 95-98 in 

 Bulletin 53.
