James Hammond Trumbull, philologist, born 

 in Stouington, Conn., December 20, 1821. He 

 entered Yale in 1838, and though, owing to ill 

 health, he was not graduated with his class, 

 his name was enrolled among its members in 

 1850, and he was given tho degree of A. M. In 

 1842-'43 he assisted tho Ilov. James H. Linsley 

 in the preparation of catalogues of the mam- 

 mal i,a, reptiles, fishes, and shells of Connecticut. 

 He settled in Hiirtford in 1817, and w.as assistant 

 secretary of state in 1817-'52 and 1858-'6I, .and 

 secretary in 1861-'G4, also state librarian in 1851. 

 Soon after going to Hartford ho joined the Con- 

 necticut Historical Society, was its correspond- 

 ing secretary in 1849-'63, and was elected its 

 president in 1803. He has been a trustee of the 

 Watkinson free library of Hartford, and its 

 librarian since 1803 ; and has been ,an officer of 

 the Wadsworth athen.Tum since 1864. Dr. 

 Trumbull was an original member of the Amer- 

 ican Philological Association in 1869, and its

 of tho American Oriental Society since 1860, 

 .and tho American Ethnological Society since 

 18G7, and honorary member of many State his- 

 torical societies. In 1872 ho was elected to the 

 National Academy of Sciences. Since 1858 he 

 has devoted special attention to the subject of 

 the Indian languages of North America. Ho 

 h.as prepared a dictionary and vocabulary to 

 John Eliot 's Indian Bible, and is prob.ably the 

 only American scholar that is now able to read 

 that work. In 1873be was chosen lecturer on In- 

 dian languages of North America at Yale, but 

 loss of health and other labors soon compelled 

 his resignation. The degree of LL.D. was con- 

 ferred on him by Yale in 1871, by Harvard in 

 1887, while Columbia gave him .an L. H. I), in 

 1887. He has been a largo contiabulor of arti-
