D 2 3 2 1 instead of 2 D 3 2 1.

The change of D and 2 makes the arrangement symmetrical. The same

result might be obtained by changing the first five beads from 1 2 3 D

2 to 1 2 3 2 D and leaving the right end undisturbed.

Other examples of complex rhythms from this region have been given by

Dr. Reichard in the essay previously referred to.

In some instances the rhythms are not so distinct, but nevertheless

discernible. As an example may serve a neckband consisting of a double

string in which beads of various colors are interspersed among red

beads in the following order

-r- r--r---r --- r----r---r--r-

/ / / / | \ \ \ \

-r--r--r- -r---rrr---r----r---r--r-
