but not in the plains region; (3) the Makah songs concern- 
ing the whale are marked by a very small compass and small 
intervals. ‘lhe Ute songs concerning the bear are also 
characterized by small intervals, but the compass is not 
particularly small. The Makah songs recorded were of 
several classes, including songs of the whale legends and 
whaling expeditions, songs of the potlatch and various social 
dances, songs connected with contests of physical strength, 
“oratitude songs,” which were sung by individuals at 
feasts, lullabies for children, courting songs, and the songs 
of wedding festivities. 
Dances and gatherings of the tribe were attended ; numer- 
ous specimens illustrating the culture of the people were 
collected; the singers and environment were photographed ; 
and about 30 specimens of plants were collected, with a de- 
scription of their economic uses. 
While in Washington, D. C., Miss Densmore arranged in 
a catalogue list 368 songs awaiting publication, and arranged 
in the proper order for publication all her material on Pawnee, 
Papago, Yuma, Cocopa, and Mohave music. Four manu- 
scripts were submitted during the year, with the titles 
““Cocopa and Mohave Dance Songs,” “‘Dance Songs and 
Flute Music of the Yuma,” ‘‘ Whaling Songs, Dream Songs, 
and Legend Songs of the Makah,”’ and ‘Potlatch Songs of 
the Makah.”’ These comprised, in addition to the text, 
87 songs, with phonograph records, musical transcriptions, 
and analyses.
