 Md., in 1818. He attended the Central High

giuia in September, 1867, and the junior class of 

 the seminary in September, 1869. Was or- 

 dained a deacon of the Protestant Episcopal 

 Church in the United States by the bishop of 

 Virginia, Easter day, 1871. Entered upon his 

 work among the Ponka Indians, in Dakota 

 Territory, in May of that year. Had an attack 

 of scarlet fever in April, 1872, and one of ty pho- 

 malarial fever in July, 1873. Owing to this ill- 

 ness, he was obliged to give up the mission 

 work in August, 1873, soon after he had learned 

 to talk to the Indians without an interjireter. 

 He returned to Maryland and engaged in parish 

 work till July, 1878, when, under direction of 

 Maj. J. W. Powell, he went to the Omaha res- 

 ervation in Nebraska in order to increase his 

 stock of linguistic material. On the oiganiza- 

 tion of the Bureau of Ethnology, in 1879, he was 

 transferred thereto, and from that time he has 

 been engaged continuously in linguistic and 

 sociologic work for the Bureau. He reiuained 

 among the Omaha till April, 1880, when he re- 

 turned to Washington. Since then he has 

 made several trips to Indian reservations for 

 scientific purposes, not only to those occupied 

 by tribes of the Siouau family, but also to the 

 Siletz reservation, in Oregon. At the last 

 place, which he visited in 1884, he obtained vo- 

 cabularies, grammatic notes, &c. of languages 

 spoken bj' ludi.ans of the Athabascan, Kusan, 

 Takilmau, and Takonau stocks. The reports 

 of his office and field work will be found in the 

 annual reports of the Bureau of Ethnology.
