[Squier was sent to Peru on a diplomatic mission by the United States government in 1863, and this service rendered, he gave two years to exploring the antiquities of the country. His Peru embodies various separate studies, which he had previously contributed to the Journal of the American Geographical Society (vol. iii. 1870-71); the American Naturalist (vol. iv. 1870); Harper’s Monthly (vols. vii., xxxvi., xxxvii.). He contributed “Quelques remarques sur la géographie et les monuments du Pérou” to the Bulletin de la Société de géographie de Paris, Jan., 1868. A list of Squier’s publications is appended to the Sale Catalogue of his Library (N. Y., 1876), which contains a list of his MSS., most of which, it is believed, passed into the collection of H. H. Bancroft. Mr. Squier’s closing years were obscured by infirmity; he died in 1888.—Ed.]
