NOTES. 
Another version of this legend was published in the proceedings A. A. A. S., Ann 
Arbor meeting, 1885, p. 399. Ukiabi was the chief of the Hisada, a Ponka gens. 
The lament of Ukiabi, as given by genuga zi or Yellow Buffalo, was as follows: 
“Ta-ku-¢a ha ma-b¢iv’ ge 4-¢i?-hé ¢a ha+a+ 
Nin/-de i-sa.a®-¢il/-ge 4.¢i°-hé ¢a ha+a+ 
Taé-ku-¢& ha ma™-b¢i’ ¢é a-¢i"-hé-ga® ¢& hat+a+ 
Nin/-de i-sa-a"-¢in/-ge hi?’-si-¢a ha+a+ !” 
It may be translated freely thus: 
“Tam walking to and fro! 
] find nothing which can heal my sorrow.”
