APPENDIX 
In order to test the accuracy of certain observations concerning 
the relative rhythms of voice and drum in Indian songs, the writer 
secured the courteous cooperation of Dr. Dayton C. Miller, head of 
the department of physics, Case School of Applied Science, Cleve- 
land, Ohio. The phonograph on which the Ute songs were recorded 
was taken to Cleveland, together with phonographic records made on 
the reservation. These records had already been transcribed by ear, 
the only instruments of measurement being the piano for the pitch 
of the tones and a standardized metronome for their time duration. 
The phonograph was installed in Dr. Miller’s laboratory (pl. 12), 
portions of two records were played by the phonograph, and the 
Fig. 20.—Photograph of drumbeat 
sound recorded graphically by the phonodeik. (See pl. 13.) The 
accompanying analyses of the photographs, kindly prepared by 
Dr. Miller, show the result of the test. A full consideration of the 
phonodeik, invented by Dr. Miller, is contained in “The Science of 
27 
Musical Sounds.”’ ? 
ANALYTICAL STuby OF PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN WITH THE PHONODEIK 
WOMAN’S DANCE—NO. 37 
A portion of the music of the Woman’s dance, of about 23 seconds’ 
duration, as reproduced by the phonograph, was photographed with 
the phonodeik, making a film record about 38 feet long. The part 
of the song which is photographed begins when the stylus of the 
reproducer of the phonograph is about 23% inches from the beginning 
end of the wax cylinder record; it is at the beginning of a new stanza 
of the song. [A portion of this photograph, with its musical 
transcription, is shown in pl. 14.]
