Analysis.—Two renditions of this song were recorded, and in both 
are found the same number of sixteenth notes in the third measure 
from the close, this phrase being divided into three groups of two 
notes each. The song contains no rhythmic unit, though several 
measures begin with a dotted eighth followed by a sixteenth note. 
A short connective phrase was sung between the renditions. (See 
No.7.) For other songs containing rests see analysis of No.8. Sixty- 
five per cent of the progressions are whole tones—a peculiarity noted 
in the analysis of No. 28. 
It was said that the following song was sung at the conclusion of 
the dance. A man approached a woman dancer and made a series 
of gestures, after which a third person threw a blanket over them, 
and they danced together while this song was sung.
