return to Ohio his publications were, if anything, even more 

 voluminous. 



In January, 1885, he founded the Journal of Mycology, in col- 

 laboration with J. B. Ellis and E. M. Everhart. Doctor Kellerraan 

 initiated the enterprise and was responsible for it. After publish- 

 ing it four years it was transferred to the United States Department 

 of Agriculture and, later, discontinued; but in 1902 Doctor Keller- 

 man revived it and carried the entire responsibility for the journal 

 the remainder of his life. Doctor Kellerman was a specialist in 

 mycology, and most of his contributions to science while a resident 

 of this state referred to fungi in one way or another. He was the 

 author of a text- book, "The Elements of Botany," 1883, and "Text- 

 Book of Elementary Botany Including a Spring Flora," 1898. 



In the later years of life he became greatly interested in the flora 

 of Guatemala and made four trips to that country. He set out upon 

 the last December 17, 1907, and had a very successful campaiga 

 collecting, and was nearly ready to return when he was seized by 

 the fever that carried him off. He was buried at Zapaca in the 

 country he loved. 



Prof essor Kellerman had a most magnetic personality, and proba- 

 bly not one teacher in a hundred possesses the power to rouse the 

 interest and enthusiasm of his students as he did. This was not by 

 any artificial effort, but because of the overflowing of his own en- 

 thusiasm together with a rare gift of presentation. In his general 

 scientific and philosophical views he was pronounced and in the 

 ranks of the most advanced. He was fearless and outspoken in ex- 

 pressing and maintaining his views. In his character and ideals of 

 conduct he was upon a plane that was impregnable to criticism. 

 He was an inspiration to all with whom he came in contact, and his 

 death was a loss to botanists the world over, and an irreparable one 

 to his friends.
