Dr. Day's was signed from Personal Knowledge, R. L. J. Ellery – Ferdinand von Mueller - and George Verdon; and from General Knowledge, Alfred Taylor – John Tomes – and G. Owen Rees.]1
In November 2019 neither the printed List of Candidates (see Home (2002), p. 312), which would include the citation provided by the supporters, nor Day's lapsed certificate could be produced. Day was not elected in the next ballot in 1881, and was not brought forward in a later year (Home (2003), p. 72). Taylor, Tomes and Rees were UK based, respectively a surgeon, a dentist and a physician.
Letter not found. The text given here is from the Journal Books (JBO - meetings of the ordinary meetings of the Society), entry for the meeting of 18 November 1880.
