This was an indefinite claiiii and was alreadv covered by the previous cession 

 by the Miami, Oct G, ISIS. 



'liis cession was made by the main body of the Kickapoo. One month later 

 a cession was made by the Vermilliou Kickapoo, the most of which was 

 within the limits of this cession. The two cessions are therefore consolidated 

 on the map into one. The cession as thus consolidated overlaps in Indiana 

 the Potawatomi ci'ssions of Oct. 2. 1818, and Oct. 2(5, 1832. It also overlaps 

 in Illinois the cessions of 179.5 at Peoria fort and the mouth of Illinois river; 

 also the Kaskaskia and Peoria cessions of 18(13 and 1818 and the Piankishaw 

 cession of 1805. It is indicated on map 2 of Illinois by an orange-colored 

 area and on the map of Indiana by a blue line.
