Description of song.

Total of five records from two males was examined. The calling song consists of polysyllabic sequences of variable duration (Figure 15b) with an interval of 5.80-8.02 s (mean 6.82). Sequences are consisting of 215-350 (262 ± 38.76) syllables. Nearly all syllables are in same amplitude (Figure 15c); rarely syllables in begin or end point of sequences are in low amplitude. General syllables shape is a kind of crescendo (Figure 15d). Syllable period durations vary between 21 and 28 ms (25.68 ± 1.89). The number of syllables in 100 ms is approximately four (Figure 15d). Each syllable includes 14-23 impulses (16 ± 2.14).
