Analysis. — ^This song contains 40 intervals, all but 3 of which 

 are minor thirds and major seconds. The intonation was particu- 

 larly good considering the smallness of the intervals. The rhythmic 

 imit, which is interesting, appears four times, one of the tones invari- 

 ably being shortened. Parts of the rhythmic unit occm', as well as 

 its complete repetitions. Two renditions were recorded, separated 

 by shrill cries while the drum was beaten tremolo. Drum and 

 voice have the same metric unit, but coincidences are met with only 

 in the closing measures. (See song No. 101.) The song contains only 

 the tones of the minor triad and fourth and is melodic in structure.
