F. D. Kelsey.—Born at New Washington, Ind., Feb. 15, 1849, but early moved to southern Ohio where he lived until 1856, when he moved to Columbus. He was graduated from Marietta College in 1870. The next year he went to Andover Theological Seminary where he graduated in 1874. He served Congregational Churches until 1885 when he moved to Helena, Montana. Here he made collections and distributed the local flora. The College of Montana conferred on him the degree of Sc. D.
In 1892 he was elected Professor of Botany at Oberlin College, which position he held until 1897, when he accepted the pastorate of the Central Congregational Church in Toledo, which he now holds. He is also lecturer on Botany at the Smead School for Girls at Toledo, Ohio. While professor at Oberlin he published several bulletins of local interest, and one monograph of Uncinula, with microscopic drawings of all American species. There are several species named in his honor, as follows:
- Kelseya, a monotypic genus of Rosaceae.
- Cucurbitaria Kelseyi, a species of Pyrenomycetous fungi.
- Homostegia Kelseyi, a species of Pyrenomycetous fungi.
- Cryptanthe Kelseyi, a species of Boraginaceae.

THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF PLANTS. II.
John H. Schaffner.
Last spring the writer published a few measurements of some common western plants in the Asa Gray Bulletin (Vol. 8: 19-20). A few other measurements are given below, all from Kansas except four which are from Ohio. It would be well for all collectors to keep records of the size of the plants which they meet, including measurements of the height and also dimensions of the leaves, flowers, fruits and underground parts. In this way the manual of the future may be brought to represent more accurately the living plant as it grows in nature rather than the dried, shrunken and dwarf specimens of the herbarium.
