WILLIAM ASHBROOK KELLERMAN. 



When the January number of the Journal of Mycology was 

 issued, no one had the remotest idea that the succeeding number 

 would record the death of its founder, editor and publisher. 

 Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came the cablegram from 

 Zacapa, Guatemala, announcing the death of William Ashbrook 

 Kellerman, March the eighth. 



On December 17th Dr. Kellerman accompanied by three stu- 

 dents from the Ohio State University, started on his fourth 

 scientific expedition to Guatemala. 



The previous journeys he had made to this country had 

 been so successful, and so enjoyable from every point of view, 

 that it was with the keenest delight and most pleasureable antici- 

 pations that the party set out in quest of the interesting Guate- 

 malan flora. Frequent letters home gave emphatic assurance 

 that their expectations were more than realized. Nature was 

 genial, kind, and seemed to have given to them the key to her 

 treasures ; good health and good spirits, was the constant theme 

 for self-congratulation. 



The trip was practically completed and the material which 



had been collected was packed ready for shipment to the United 



States. Ohe more little journey up a mountain near Los 



Amates was undertaken, and it was here, on the top of the 



mountain, where what had been considered but a slight indis- 



t)osition, began to develop into unmistakable fever. But so 



^ager and enthusiastic in the work of collecting was Dr. Keller- 



2?man that he tried to ignore his increasing indisposition and in- 



--^isted upon continuing some twelve miles further to the village
