This cession was intended to include all lands N. of 3.i^ N. latitude. General 

 Winchester surveyed the line but diverged from the true parallel so that his 

 line struck the Mississippi river over 4 miles to the N. of 35'^ as afterward 

 ascertained. Tha quantity of land thus included between the Winchester 

 line and the true parallel of 3.'>- was 21,^,927 acres. The subseciueut treaty of 

 May 24, 1834, declared the Winchester line should be the true l)0uudary of the 

 cession so far as the rights and interests of the Chickasaw were concerned. 

 According to Winchester's fiehl notes of survey in 1819, his line began on the 

 W. bank of Tennessee river at 35- N. latitude and ran due W., leaving the 

 month of Wolf river 7 miles to the N. and Fort I'ickering 4i miles to the N., 

 intersecting Mississippi river three-fourths of a mile below the end of Presi- 

 dent's island, a distance of 110 miles from the beginning. 



This reserve was ceded to the U. S. by the supplemental article to the treaty of 

 May 24, 1834. See also treaty of June 22, 1852. Boundaries of this tract
