More accurate spectroscopic elements of the hydrogen-deficient variable star KS Persei have been determined from new and old radial velocities. A lower mass function of 3.6 + or - 0.4 solar masses is obtained along with improved orbital elements, including a period = 362.8 + or - 0.1 d, periastron passage = J.D. 2435152 + or - 5, e = 0.30 + or - 0.03, omega = 277 deg + or - 6 deg, a sin i = 228 + or - 8 x 10 to the 6th km. Its more massive, invisible companion, formerly proposed as a black hole candidate, is now recognized as a hot star.
