Platting left bank of river from c down stream, it closes at e instead of d. It would be supposed that there was an error in the measure on the line of sections 15 and 22 which caused this mis-closure; but the meanders in section 22 on left bank, platted up stream, close at the proper point d, and the island platted from a, round the lower end, closer exactly at b. So that it seems the error must be in the meander in section 15. Meanders of Island in Cedar River in Sections 15 and 22.
