Indian songs from the side of physics.  The Indian, like every other natural singer, feels after the natural harmonic intervals, and misses them most of the time.  But he approximates them closely enough so that we can generally see what he is after, beyond the possibility of mistake.  "Uncorrupted ears" is a very nice phrase;  but Indians, Negros, [[Malays?]], Chinamen and white men with "uncorrupted ears" sing more off pitch, nine times out of ten, than our tempered instruments play.  It is only the few and exceptional ears, and those mostly highly trained ones, the world over, that lead the voice to sing absolutely correctly.  Few people have two perfect ears.-  If I have not answered as explicitly as you wish, please let me know.  I will send your MS to-morrow.

Greetings to the rest.

Yours as ever
