This series ran from Nos. 230 to 237, issued June 11,1859, and Nos. 238 to 244, issued October 15, 1859, for 160 acres each, making a total of 2,400 acres. Pawnee half-breed scrip.-Under the treaty of September 24, 1857 (11 Stats., 731), ninth article, 16 pieces of Pawnee half-breed scrip were issued June 11, 1859, to parties named therein as being entitled to the same. Thia series ran from Nos. 214 to 229, each for 160 acres, aggregating 2,560 acres. Mississippi Choctaw scrip.-There were' issued and delivered to the parties entitled 3,833 certificates or pieces of scrip known as Missis-sippi Choctaw scrip--1,150 pieces, series A, for 320 acres of land, aggregating 368,000 acres; 1.462 pieces, series B, each for 160 acres, aggregating 233,920 acres; and 1,221 pieces, series C, for 80 acres each, aggregating 97,680 a,cres. The treaty and laws relating to the issuance of this scrip and the settlement of the claims of the Missis-sippi Choctaws may be found by reference to the treaty of September 27,1830 (7 Stats., 333), with the Choctaw Nation of Indians, and to the acts of Congress approved August 23,1842 (5 Stats., 513), March 3, 1845 (5 Stats., 777), and July 21, 1852 (10 Stats., 19). It is possible that an exhaustive search throngh the 370 treaties and 74 agreements which have been negotiited with Indians might disclose the authorization of some scrip to individuals (like the Ponca and Pawnee scrip) which have not been included in the above lists; but it is believed that the foregoing statement as to the scrip issued by this Office is approximately correct.
