The principal progressions are major seconds (48 per cent), and fourths (22 per cent). The mtonation was somewhat wavering throughout the renditions, but tlie tones transcribed as C sharp and C natural wore clearly distinguislied. This was the first song recorded by Eagle Shield, and his voice grew steadier when he became accustomed to singing mto the phonograpli. This song is melodic in structure and contains all the tones of the octave except the seventh. ShriU war cries were given durmg the rest which precedes the words of the song. Plate 65, A, depicts an incident in a Sioux expedition against the Crows which toolv place in midsummer. The Sioux were away from their village only 16 days, yet they returned witli 100 Crow scalps. Approaching the Crow village, the Sioux sent forward a few men, who went around tlie camp and captured some horses. The Crows, supposing this to be the entire Sioux force, came out of the camp.
