said tract, then such line shall be continued until it strikes 

 the western boundary of the tract ceded to the U. S. by 

 treaty of Detroit in 1807, and from the termination of the 

 said line, following the boundaries of former cessions, to the 

 main branch of the Grand river of Lake iliohigan, should 

 any of the said lines cross the said river, but if none of the 

 said lines should cross the said river, then to a point dne E. 

 of the source of the said main branch of the said river, and 

 from such point due W. to the source of the said principal 

 branch, aud from the crossing of the said river or from the 

 source thereof, as the case may be, down the said river on 

 the N. bank thereof to the mouth; thence following the 

 shore of Lake Jlichigau to the S. bank of the said river St 

 Joseph at the montli thereof and thence with the said .S. 

 bank to the place of beginning. 

 From the foregoing cession the said Indians reserve for their 

 use the following tracts, viz; 



1. One tract at Maug-ach-qna village, on the river Peble, 



of 6 miles square. 



2. One tract at Mick-ke-saw-be of 6 miles square. 



3. One tract at the village of Na-to-wa-se-pe of 4 miles 



square. 



4. One tract at the village of Prairie Roude of 3 miles 



sqn.are. 



5. One tract at the village of Match-e-be-narh-she-wish, at 



the head of the Kek.ilamazoo river. 

 The U. S. grants from above cession 26 sections of laud to indi- 

 viduals of Indian descent. 



Congress, by the provisions of this act, appropriated $1,000 

 with which to purchase and extinguish the Indian title to 

 three tracts of land, containing 4,000 acres each, lying on 

 Muskingum river, in Tuscarawas county, Ohio. These tracts 

 were as follows : 



1. One tract of 4,000 acres at Shoenbrun 



• 2. One tract of 4,000 acres at Gnadenhutten 



3. One tract of 4,000 acres at Salem 



The Florida tribes cede to the U. S. all claim or title which 

 they have to the whole territory of Florida, with the excep- 

 tion of such dislriet of country as shall herein be allotted to 

 them. 



The Florida tribes will hereafter be concentrated and confined 

 to the following metes and boundaries; Commencing.') miles 

 N. of Okehuiuke, running in a direct line to a point 5 miles W. 

 of Setarky's settlement, on the waters of the Amazura (or 

 Withlahnchie river), leaving said settlement 2 miles S. of the 

 line; from thence in a direct line to the 8. end of the Big 

 Hannnock, to include Chickuchate; continuing in the same 

 direction for 5 miles beyond the said ILammock, provided 

 said point does not approach nearer than 15 miles the sea- 

 coast of the Gulf of Mexico; if it does the said line will ter- 

 minate at that distance from the seacoast; thence S. 12 

 miles; thence in a S. 30- E. direction until the same shall 

 strike within 5 miles of the main br.anch of Charlotte river; 

 thence in a due E. direction to within 20 miles of the Atlantic 

 coast; thence N. 15^ W. for 50 miles, and from this last to 

 the beginning point. 



The Indians having objected to being concentrated within the 

 limits al>ove described, for fear there was insufficient good 

 land to subsist them, the U. S. agree that should said terri- 

 tory, after examination, be found to contain insufiicieut good 

 land, then the N. line, as above detiiieil, shall be removed so 

 far N. as lo embrace a sufficient quantity of good tillable 

 land.
