To the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States:


4
Continuing our work as commissioners designated in the decree of March 12, 1923 (261 U. S. 340, 43 S. Ct. 376, 67 L. Ed. 687), in the above-entitled cause, we have run, located, and marked upon the ground the boundary between the states of Texas and Oklahoma along the Red river from the Big Bend Area westward to a southerly extension of the west line of range 16 west in Oklahoma, in accordance with the decree and the principles announced in the opinion delivered January 15, 1923 (260 U. S. 606, 43 S. Ct. 221, 67 L. Ed. 428), and in the manner stated in our report of April 25, 1924, on the Big Bend Area. We have called this portion of the boundary the 'Fort Augur Area.'


5
The maps, which accompany and are made a part of this report, are identified as follows:

8
There are no oil wells within 300 feet of the boundary in the Fort Augur Area.
