This rhythmic peculiarity was frequently observed among the Chippewa songs. Thus, in two of three renditions of this song the fourth measure was sung as transcribed, while in the other j-endition an additional measure was inserted, the fiirst two counts of the fourth measure forming a measure in double time, followed by B flat (final count of the fourth measure) prolonged into a triple measure. An additional measure does not seem to trouble an Indian singer, as the form of a song as a whole seems to be less defmite among Indians than among musicians of the w^hite race. Tliis melody is major in tonahty and harmonic in structure. The tonic triad forms the framework of the first four measures, after which the descending minor third B-G sharp appears, the song closing with a descent to the third of the key. This melodic outline is unusual and interesting. The opening of the song has force and definiteness, and the prominence of the fourth in the latter portion.
