has Joined Mr.. f. A. Mcdowell and Mr.. Hugo
Kaun in pointing out
1t would seem like a singular coincidence in
any field, except that which is engaging our
present attention if from different sources the
same melody, supposedly charged with local
and particular significance, should come to ones
notice at almost the same time. Grant the cor
rectness of what have said about the charac-
teristics of Indian music in general, however
(and one is likely to question it who has
paid intelligent attention to the subject, and it
ought not to appear strange that the tune of
the Otoe calumet song should crop up from an
other tribe while Mr.. Farwells Dawn is at
my elbow. Now it takes the shape of canoe
song OF the Ojbway Indians. which has
also in a manner been enlisted in the service
OF artistic music. From Mr. Frederick r.

to be very much sophisticated. decoction and
void OF interest from the folklorist's point OF
view; but Mr.. Burton, who used to be New
