Daniel Garrison Brinton, ethnologist, born 

 in Chester County. Pa., M.ay 13, 1837. He was 

 graduated at Yale in 1858 and at the Jefferson 

 Medical College in 1861, after whicli ho spent a 

 year in Europe in study and in travel. On his 

 return ho entered the army, in August, 18G2, as 

 acting ass slant surgeon. In February of the 

 following ye.ar ho was commissioned surgeon, 

 and served as surgeon-in-cliief of the second 

 division, eleventh corps. He was present at 

 the battles of Chaucellorsville, Gettysburgh, 

 and other engagements, and was .appointed 

 medical director of his corps in October, 1863, 

 In consequence of a sunstroke received soon 

 after the battle of Gettysb irgh he was dis- 

 qualified for active service, an 1 in the autumn 

 of that year ho became superintendent of hos- 

 pitals at Quincy and Springfield, III., until 

 August, 1805, wlien, tlie civil war having closl^d, 

 he was brevetted lieutcn.antcoIonel and dis- 

 charged. He then settled in Pliiladelphia, 

 wliere he became editor of " Tlie MiHiical and 

 Surgical Reporter," and also of the quarterly 

 " Compendium of Medical Science.' Dr. Brin- 

 ton has likewise been a constant contributor to 

 otlier medical .journ.als, chiefly on questions of 

 public medicine and hygiene, and has edited 

 sever.al volumes on therapeutics and diag- 

 nosis, especiiilly the popular series known as 

 "Napheys's Modern Therapeutics," wliich has 

 passed tlirough so many editions. In the medi- 

 cal controversies of the day, ho has alw.ays 

 taken the position that medical science should 

 be basnd on the results of clinical observation, 

 rather th.an on physiological experiments. Ho 

 has become prominent as a student and a writer 

 on American ethnology, his work in this direc- 

 tion beginning while he was a student in col- 

 lege. The winter of 1856-'57, spent in Florida, 

 supplied him with material for liis first pub- 

 lished book on the subject. In 1884 ho was .ap- 

 pointed pro'essor of ethnology and archajology 

 in the Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila- 

 delphia. For some years lie has been president 

 of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of
