DENSMORE] NORTHERN UTE MUSIC 209 
The pitches of the notes having been obtained from the tran- 
scribed record,” the completed musical transcription is obtained as 
given in figure 3 [pl. 15]. The revised location of the drumbeats is 
shown by the dots below the score. 
One of the interesting results of the quantitative transcription of 
this phrase is the fact that it agrees so well with the original musical 
transcription. There is no essential difference. Perhaps the omis- 
sion of the measure in 3-4 time is not justified, though the exact time 
value is as given in figure 3 [pl. 15]. A more extended study would 
certainly make possible an exact transcription of the whole song, but 
the close agreement of the two methods hardly justifies the great 
amount of labor involved in the photographic method. This study 
was undertaken principally to learn what could be done if it were 
desirable. 
LAME DANCE—NO. 39 
The portion of the music of the Lame dance of about 15 seconds’ 
duration as reproduced by the phonograph was photographed with 
the phonodeik, making a film record about 19 feet long. The part 
of the song which is photographed begins when the stylus of the 
reproducer of the phonograph is about 2-3; inches from the beginning 
end of the wax cylinder record. The original musical transcription 
of the portion photographed is given in figure 4 [pl. 16]. The pur- 
pose of the study was to determine the relation of the drumbeats to 
the rhythm of the voice. The record of a drumbeat appears on the 
photograph as a short series of vibrations of the pattern shown in 
figure 20. 
Thirteen consecutive drumbeats have been identified, and they 
have been marked by *’s and numbered by serial numbers in circles, 
as @, ®. 
The dots in a row below the sound record are time signals, one 
one-hundredth second apart. The numbers below the dots between 
the *’s are the time intervals between the drumbeats in hundredths 
of a second. 
The notes of the music which have distinct accents as heard on 
the phonograph are marked A—G on both the score, figure 4 [pl. 16], 
and on the upper edge of the photograph. Each note of the score 
is marked with a letter, as a, b, c-w, and the same notes when 
identified are similarly marked on the photograph. 
There is a remarkable regularity in the beats of the drum. The 
12 intervals between beats, in hundredths of a second, are 92, 92,

of the Graduate College, University of lowa, lowa City, lowa.
