Analysis.—This song resembles No. 17, which was sung at the 
conclusion of the Bear dance, but a comparison of the trend of the 
two melodies shows the upper tone to be the more important in 
No. 17 and the lower tone in the present instance. A fundamental 
and its minor third are the only tones in this song, while No. 17 
contains also the minor seventh, occurring as an unaccented tone. 
This song comprises four periods, all having the same rhythm. It 
begins and ends on the same tone. (See No. 37.)

Fic. 7.—Plots, Group 5 (Lame dance) 
In the plot of these songs we have a type that appears to avoid 
the lowest point, differing in this respect from a majority of the 
Sioux as well as of the Ute songs.
