 enberg, in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, 

 October 3, 1832. His propsedeutic education was 

 acquired in the Ij-ceums of Neuchatel (1843- 

 1845) and of Berne (1846-1852), after which he 

 follo\\ cd courses in the universities of Berne 

 and Berlin (1852-1858). His studies had for 

 their object the ancient world in all its phases of 

 religion, history, language, and art, and thereby 

 his attention was at an early day directed to 

 philologic researches. In 1865 he began the pub- 

 lication of a series of brief monographs on the 

 local etymology of his counfrj-, entitled " Orts- 

 etymologische Forschungcn aus dcr Schweiz" 

 (1865-1867). In 1867 he spent several months 

 in London pursuing antiquarian studies in the 

 BritishMuseum. In 1868 he settled in New York 

 and became a contributor to various domestic 

 and foreign periodicals, mainly on scientific 

 subjects. Drifting into amore attentive study 

 of the American Indians, he published several 

 compositions upon their languages, tho most 

 Important of which is " Zwiilf Sprachen aus 

 dem Sudwesten Nordamorikas," Weimar, 1876. 

 This led to Ids appointment to tho position 

 of ethnologist in tho United States Geological 

 Survey, under Maj. John "W. Powell, in March, 

 1877. when he removed to Washington, and first 

 employed himself in airanging the linguistic
