THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 167 



Science. He had served as President of the Buffalo, N. Y., Academy of 

 Science and the Ohio Academy of Science. 



Animal Parasites of Fishes, and the Rotifera, from time to time 

 claimed a considerable portion of Professor Kellicott's attention, but his 

 entomological work won for him the admiration of the entomologists of 

 America. Patient, conscientious and utterly devoid of selfishness, he 

 was one of the most kind and lovable men the writer has ever met. 

 Faithful and just with his colleagues and the idol of his pupils, seeking 

 patiently and industriously after the truth, he won esteem while living, and 

 in his death he has left numberless friends to mourn his loss. If there 

 was ever a man who deserved the reward, "Well done, thou good and 

 faithful servant," that man was David S. Kellicott ; and the fruits of his 

 labours will stand as an enduring monument to his faithfulness among his 

 fellow-men. He began to contribute to the Canadian Entomologist 

 in 1878, his last article appearing in 1896. F. M. Webster.
