break in the time. The melody is rhythmi¢ in character but con- 
tains no rhythmic unit. Only three sorts of progressions occur— 
the fourth (constituting 32 per cent), the major second (62 per cent), 
and one interval of a major third (see No. 28). All the major seconds 
were uncertain in intonation. The song is harmonic in structure 
and contains the octave complete except the second and seventh.
