The treaty provides that this tract is intended as a home for the tieneka, Onon- 

 daga, Cayuga, Tiiskarora, Oneida, St Kegis, Stockbridge, Munsee, and

 divided equally among them according to their respective numbers, viz:

After this tract was set apart the Indians, with few exceptions, refused to 

 remove, to and occupy it. The Tonawanda band of Seneka released all their 

 claim to an interest in it by treaty of 1857. After remaining unoccupied for 

 many years the Indian right was declared forfeited and the tract restored to 

 the public; domain, except in the case of 10,215.63 acres iu the NE. part, 

 which were allotted to 32 of the New York Indians who had removed to and 

 settled upon the reserve. Thesi' allotments are colored blue on the map, 

 while the balance of the reserve is red. The occujiancy of these 32 Indians 

 was not, however, permanent, and by act of Congress of Feb. 19, 1873. pro- 

 vision was nuide for the sale of these allotments to white settlers, the pro- 

 ceeds to be paid to the allottees or their heirs. See also acts of .June 23,
