The rhythmic unit is clear and was exactly repeated. The song contains no change of time and no interval of a major third, almost half the intervals being minor thirds. It is interesting to note the prominence of the subdominant in the latter portion of the song. The singer in beginning the repetitions of this song sounded the octave above the final tone as an approach to the high note on which the song begins. This tone does not appear at the first of the phonograph record and evidently was used to steady the voice in the large ascent. The same peculiarity was observed in other records by this singer. A woman's song of the scalp dance was recorded by one who took part in those dances when she was a young woman. No. 87.
