58 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [Boll. 165 Translation Is it not you, young man, is it not you, young man. That sort of yellow butterfly you painted, That flies in among the corn plants. Is it not you, young man, is it not you, young man, That sort of blue butterfly you painted, That flies in among the corn plants. Chortis Butterfly, butterfly, that yellow butterfly, that beautiful butterfly [repeated]' I can see it fly away in its sacred way. Is it not you young man, is it not you, young man? That kind of yellow butterfly, yellow butterfly you have painted, So then it is pretty, to alight in the field. II (Repeated, mentioning the blue butterfly) Chorus Butterfly, butterfly, yellow, blue butterfly, Beautiful, beautifully it flies to the country. Beautiful butterfly, red, white butterfly, Beautiful, beautifully it has flown among the flowers. Analysis.—The performance of this song occupied 2 minutes, the entire performance being transcribed. At the close of the repetition of period B, before the half rest, the tone F was sung slightly above the indicated pitch, this rise in pitch level having been gradual. The tone F in the upper octave, occurring early in the fourth period, was clearly sung as F-sharp and the remainder of the performance was on that pitch level. Throughout the observance of a change in pitch level, it has been noted that the change occurs in anticipation of a particularly large interval or, occasionally, in the singing of this unusually large interval. The transcription contains 179 progressions, and the entire performance, including the repeated portions, contains 212 progressions. Although the song is major in tonality, the major third comprises less than 1 percent of the intervals, the melody progressing chiefly by whole tones and semitones. ^The drimibeat slightly preceded the voice and is in quarter-note values. COMANCHE DANCE SONG This is a pleasure dance among the Acoma, but is closely connected with traditions of war (cf. Comanche dance of the Zuni, p. 109). Only boys and young men take part in the Comanche dance, some appearing like Acoma warriors, while others are in the war regalia of the Plains tribes. It was said, "if wearing a feather bonnet they dance more gracefully and trip along." They carry shields and often dance face to face as though fighting with spears. The| Comanche dance songs 'usedf at Acoma are in imitation of songs learned from other tribes. In explanation of the song here
