Analysis.—This song contains only one word (Tgiyuta), said to be 
the Shoshoni term applied by them to the Utes. The rhythmic struc- 
ture of the song comprises four periods, each containing four meas- 
ures, except the third, which has only three measures. Each of these 
periods ends with a triple measure. In melodic form the song is 
characterized by wide expansion and small intervals, the range being 
11 tones and about 60 per cent of the progressions being smaller than 
a major third. (See No. 28.) Three renditions were recorded, the 
only differences being a slight variation in the fourth measure. The 
song contains all the tones of the octave.
