Analysis.—The gliss<strong>and</strong>o on descending fourths followed by an ascending<br />
interval gives a swaying effect to this melody, suggesting the motion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
dance. The melody is framed on a major triad with the fifth as its lowest tone.<br />
The pitch level was slightly raised in the repetitions <strong>of</strong> the song.<br />
The next song is sung during the playing <strong>of</strong> a game in which a<br />
marble is hidden in one <strong>of</strong> four cylinders, each side <strong>of</strong> the players, in<br />
turn, guessing its location. It was said ''if the guessing is correct the<br />
marble will be found in the third cyhnder." In a description <strong>of</strong> the<br />
hidden-ball game among the Pueblo, by Culin, the tubes are made <strong>of</strong><br />
wood (Cuhn, 1907, pp. 357-364, 367-382).<br />
In a similar game witnessed<br />
among the Papago by the writer, the tubes were made <strong>of</strong><br />
bamboo reeds (Densmore, 1929 a, pp. 72, 73, 78).
