more modern Sioux songs. ‘T'hus we find five sorts of ascending and 
four of descending intervals, while in the song next preceding, which 
was mistaken for an old song, almost 80 per cent of the intervals 
were fourths and major thirds. This song is melodic in structure 
and contains the tones of the fourth five-toned scale.

Analysis.—The somewhat monotonous rhythm of this song is 
varied only by a triple measure near the close. The melody tones 
are those of the fourth five-toned scale, and the ascending and 
descending intervals are about equal in number. Major and minor 
thirds constitute 89 per cent of the intervals, though the fourth is 
prominent in a portion of the melody. Five renditions were recorded 
and show no variations.
