Following are two otlier examples of native music, the tirst of 

 which is the " melody " used in playing noeta, and the second, one of 

 the Denes' pastime songs which, as will be seen, are little more than 

 polished yells, both ai'e without words.

In fine, I give below for the sake of comparison the groat " barcarolle" 

 or boating song of the Carriers. It is of modern though Dene origin, 

 and this circumstance will explain the fact that in spite of the irregular- 

 ity of the finale, both rhythm and melody are more consonant with our 

 musical ideas and evince intercourse with white singers.
