 was Piatt. She was educated at Mrs. Wiilard's 

 seminary in Troy, N. Y., aud in 1855 married 

 Simeon H. Smith, of Jersej' City, N. J., which 

 place was thenceforth her home. From child- 

 hood she devoted herself to the study of 

 geology, both theoretically and practically, 

 aud as a result of her work had made oue of 

 the largest private collections in the couutry. 

 She spent four years in Europe with her sons 

 studying science and language, during whicli 

 period she was giaduated at the School of 

 Mines, Freiberg, Saxony, aud after her return 

 gave fre([uent courses of lectures in parlors, 

 and for charitable objects, on .scientific and 

 other subjects. 



The material above described was collected 

 by Mrs. Smith during the years 1879 to 1884, 

 while! in the employ of the Bureau of Ethnology, 

 and it was tlie intention of tlie Bureau to in- 

 elude it iu its series of publications. During 

 most of her worlv she had the assistance of Mr. 

 J. N. B. Hewitt, an (educated member of the 

 Tuscarora tribe, who is now engaged in com- 

 pleting her unfinished work. Throughout all 

 these manuscripts, which are in the library of 

 the Bureau of Ethnology, the Bureau alphabet, 

 with a few modifications, has been used.
