The principal melody tones are B, G, and D, usually in descending order, and the intervals comprise 12 ascending and 13 descending progressions. The ritard at the close is similar to that in the song next preceding. Several Isleta songs recorded by Lucero were not transcribed, among them being a hunting song. In explanation, Lucero said the principal game hunted by the people at Isleta is the rabbit. In former times the weapons were clubs, bows and arrows, and the hunt is still held on three Sundays in May. On the night before each hunt the Indians build a bonfire and sit around it. The singers consist of the war captains and certain other members of the tribe who take turns in beating the drum during two or more songs. The drum is the same that is used in ceremonies and is a tall, double- headed drum, struck with the hands. The hunting songs have no prescribed order. After singing around the bonfire they go to the house of the animal clan and "have a ceremony" which any member of the tribe may attend.
