Ml'. James Gilchrist Swan was born in Med- 

 ford, Mass., January 11, 1818, and was educated 

 at an academy in that place. In 1833 he went to 

 Boston to reside, and remained there until 1849, 

 when he left for San Francisco, where he arrived 

 in 1850. In 1852 he went to Shoalwater Bay, 

 where he remained until 1850, when he returned 

 east. In 18.59 he returned to Puget Sound ; since 

 then Port Townsend has been his headquarters. 

 In 1860 Mr. Swan went to Neah Bay. In June, 

 1862, he was appointed teacher of the Makah 

 Indian Keservatiou, where he remained till 1866. 

 In 1869 he went to Alaska, and in May, 1875, he 

 went a second time to Alaska, this time under 

 the direction of the Smithsonian Institution, as 

 a commissioner to purchase articles of Indian 

 manufacture for the Philadelphia Centennial 

 Exposition. This fine collection is now in the 

 U. S. National Museum at Washington. July 

 31, 1878, Mr. Swan was ajjpointed an inspector 

 of customs at Neah Bay, Cape Flattery, and 

 remained there until August, 1888, adding much 

 to our knowledge of the Makah Indians, wliich 

 was rejjorted to Prof. Baird and published in a 

 bulletin of the U. S. National Museum . In 1883 

 he went to Queen Charlotte Islands for the 

 Smithsonian Institution and made another col- 

 lection for the U. S. National Museum.
