Notes

  • (1) All volumes are indexed individually by proper name; (2) records dating from 1850 to 1868 are represented in the card index; those from 1875 through 1877 have been erroneously indexed as part of the Secretary's records, volumes 184-209. The indexes in each volume are the most reliable.
  • For a description of the record series of which these materials are a part, refer to "Forms part of" above.
