The extensive collection is divided into four groups, which are labelled differently: L = Love songs, DR = Doctor Songs, B = Bear Songs and Bear dance, T = Tale songs. Dorsey is also labelled DRSY. The original documentation of the "Tale Songs" collection contains two numbers for each reel, one consecutive from 1 - 41, with the original number in brackets (not consecutive, between 30 and 148). These rolls are parts of a more extensive collection that G. A. Dorsey recorded together with James Murie (cf. EFR 54-044-F with 443 cyl.). The collection was archived by Hornbostel (inv. nos. 1407-1426, 1692-1706, 2063-3055, no consecutive numbers, but separation according to originals and galvanos). The date of receipt can be assumed to be after Hornbostel's trip to the USA (1906), based on the original inventory numbers approximately the year 1908. Only the 34 Galvanos are inventoried in the EB Schneider (EB pp. 460-461) and (obviously incorrectly) labelled as FE 29. No correspondence has yet been discovered. In the Orig.dok there are references to published texts (Dorsey Mythology). There is a connection to the collection "Hornbostel Pawnee 1906", in some cases the same informants were included. Further documents can be found in the ATM Bloomington, Indiana (USA).
