Analysis.—This song, in contrast to that next preceding, is char- 
acterized by the interval of the major third, which constitutes 52 
per cent of the intervals. Next in frequency is the interval of a 
fourth, constituting 27 per cent of the entire number. The rhythmic 
unit is short and occurs in both double and triple measures. Count- 
divisions similar to those in the rhythmic unit appear throughout 
the song. The melody tones are those of the major triad and fourth. 
The low G at the close of the song was given with distinctness, 
though it seemed to be below the natural compass of the singer’s 
voice. No variation occurred in the four renditions of this melody. 
The interval of a fourth characterizes this song and is also prominent 
in Nos. 7, 11, 16, 20, 50, 88, 90, and 100. A monotonous rhythm 
somewhat resembling that of the present song is noted also in Nos. 
4,6, 10, 15, 16, 42, 98, and 101. This peculiarity was not found in 
songs of the Chippewa and Sioux. :
