Mixed Diglossini, Jan. 27, 1964, II

[[marginalia]] Cy Ater Laf [[/marginalia]] Some aspects of the Cy songs here and now may be of interest in this connection. They are so rapid and twittering, and thin and high, that they are rather different from Ater songs as well as Laf songs. More different than in previous years. Probably they are more different now simply [[underlined]] because the Cys are not hearing Aters frequently now [[/underlined]]
