The following specimens of the language , where it is 

 attempted to find more accurate and absolute indications of 

 the movements of the voice, confirm and illustrate what has 

 already been said about these matters. 



II. The musical movements of the voice in natu- 

 ral speech as accidentally overheard. 



The tones are approximately determined in relation to the 

 a of my tuning-fork.

III. The musical movements of the voice in natural 

 speech determined by experiment with Greenlanders from 

 different districts (indicated by Roman numerals, cf. Intro- 

 duction p. 8). The tones were determined on a violin, which 

 had been tuned after my tuning-fork, immediately after the 

 pronunciation of the words. The single bar-line indicates a 

 pause of arbitrary length between the words.
