(Oct. 1, 1890, ch. 1263, § 1, 26 Stat. 650.) Editorial Notes CODIFICATION Section was formerly set out as section 44 of this title. As originally enacted, this section contained two further provisions that ‘‘nothing in this act shall be construed as in any wise affecting the grant of lands made to the State of California by virtue of the act en- titled ‘An act authorizing a grant to the State of Cali- fornia of the Yosemite Valley, and of the land’ embrac- ing the Mariposa Big-Tree Grove, approved June thir- tieth, eighteen hundred and sixty-four; or as affecting any bona-fide entry of land made within the limits above described under any law of the United States prior to the approval of this act.’’ The first quoted pro- vision was omitted from the Code because the land, granted to the state of California pursuant to the Act cited, was receded to the United States. Resolution June 11, 1906, No. 27, accepted the recession. § 471d.
