Analysis. — Two rhythmic units are found in this song, the difference 

 between them giving variety and character to the rhythm of the song 

 as a whole. The melody tones arc those of the fourth five-toned 

 scale. The fourth is prominent, forming about 25 per cent of the 

 intervals, while the minor thirds form 71 per cent of the entire number. 

 The song is melodic in structure and has a compass of an octave. In 

 addition to the recording of the song by Shooter it was, at the request 

 of the Indians, recorded by several singers assisted by others who gave 

 the sharp yells with which songs of this kind arc punctuated. 



Rests are considered in the analysis of song No. 79.
