possession of the lands designated by the government for Indian purposes, for the want of definitely fixed boundaries. I regret that the limited time allotted me for the accomplishment of this duty precluded the possibility of my visiting those portions of this superintendency north of Mendocino and south of the Tejon. Recent reports from D. E. Buel, Esq., agent at the Klamath, convinces me, however, that his reservation is in a prosperous condition. As it is my intention to visit this reservation immediately, I shall make it the subject of a special report. Great effort has been made to ascertain the amount of indebtedness of the reservations, as required in my instructions; but, as yet, the returns of the different agents have not been completed. I hope, however, to be able to report in full upon this subject before long. The embarrassed condition of this superintendency suggests many subjects that should be laid before the department, but which I am compelled to defer, on account of the limited time allowed me for the preparation of this report. I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, J. Y. MCDUFFIE, Superintendent of Indian Affairs for California. Hon. A. B.
