NOTES.

[Footnote a: These 92 are Ottowas of Maumee.]

[Footnote b: This, as far as appears from any data in the
office; but, in point of fact, there are most probably no, or
very few, Chickasaws remaining east.]

[Footnote c: In this number is included a party, assumed to
be 100, who clandestinely removed themselves; but they are
withheld from the next column, because, it is not yet known
what arrangement has been made for their subsistence, though
instructions on that subject have been addressed to the
Choctaw agent.]

[Footnote d: Ten of these emigrated as far back as January,
1842; but, as the number was so small, the arrangements for
their subsistence were postponed until they could be included
in some larger party, such as that which subsequently
arrived.]

[Footnote e: These Indians do not properly belong to this
column, but are so disposed of because the table is without
an exactly appropriate place for them. Originally, their
haunts extended east of the river, and some of their
possessions on this side are among the cessions by our
Indians to the Government, but their tribes have ever since
been gradually moving westward.]

[Footnote g: This number is conjectural, but cannot be far
from the truth, as Mr. McElvaine, the sub-agent, states that
but 8 or 10 families still remain.]

_Hunter._ And now, place before you a map of North America. See how it
stretches out north and south from Baffin's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico,
and east and west from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. What a
wonderful work of the Almighty is the rolling deep! "The sea is His,
and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land." Here are the great
Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario; and here run the
mighty rivers, the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Ohio, and the St.
Lawrence: the Mississippi itself is between three and four thousand
miles long.

_Basil._ What a river! Please to tell us what are all those little
hills running along there, one above another, from top to bottom.

_Hunter._ They are the R
