between the federal and state governments,
and three different examinations have
been made in the field by various special
agents. The original section, claimed as
a basis for indemnity, aggregated 160,5S6
acres. The decision is a lengthy recapitu-
lation Of the evidence and the law, as this
IS a test case, involving one hundred other
similar claims now pending here.
commissioner Hermann decides the lands
not to have been swamp within the mean

the evidence as a whole is insufficient to
show swamp character; second, the original
claim and ~afirmatively show the lands ag-
