Analysis.—The rhythmic unit of this song occurs only twice, the 
second time being on a pitch slightly lower than the first. Count- 
divisions similar to those of the unit occur throughout the song. 
Seven renditions were recorded with no variation except that the 
sixteenth note followed by an eighth note was not always clear in 
relative time value. The fourth is prominent in the structure of 
the melody, though almost half the progressions are whole tones. 
The song has a compass of nine tones and contains all the tones of 
the octave except the seventh.

Analysis.—This is a pleasing melody containing the tones of the 
fourth five-toned scale. Six renditions were recorded, the time 
being continuous throughout the performance. The wide variety of 
intervals suggests that the song may be modern, since that peculiarity’ 
characterized Sioux songs which were known to be less than 50 years 
old. This song contains five sorts of ascending and five of descending 
intervals. . The glissando manner of singing was especially marked in 
this instance.
