to the survey of a railroad route to the Pacific, 

 under Major Stevens. In 1857 he was appointed 

 to the northwest boundary survey under Mr. 

 Archibald Campbell, as commissioner. In i860 

 Mr. Gibbs returned to New York, and in 1861 

 was on duty in "Washington in guarding the Cap- 

 itol. Later he resided in Washington, being 

 mainly employed in the Hudson Bay claims 

 commission, to which he was secretary, fle 

 was also engaged in the arrangement of a large 

 mass of mauuscript bearing upon the ethnol- 

 ogy and philology of the American Indians. 

 His services were availed of by the Smithson- 

 ian Institution to superintend its labors in this 

 field, and to his energy and complete knowl- 

 edge of the subject it greatly owes its success 

 in this branch of the service. The valuable 

 and laborious service which he rendered to the 

 Institution was entirely gratuitous, and in his 

 death that establishment as well as the cause 

 of science lost an ardent friend and important 

 contributor to its advancement. In 1871 Mr. 

 Gibbs married his cousin. Miss Mary K. Gibbs, 

 of Newport, R. I., and removed to New Haven, 

 where he died on the 9th of April, 1873.
