On the form, 'Qualifications' is printed vertically to the left of the space left for the details.
Woods's candidature information was also included in the List of Candidates for 1886 (p. 14) where it is indicates that Davidson was dead by the time the list was printed, 1887 (p. 15) and 1888 (p. 14), by which time von Haast was also dead, but J. Rae (surgeon and Arctic explorer, London) had signed from personal knowledge. Tenison-Woods was not elected.
Woods (1865).
See Woods's bibliography in O'Neill (1929), pp. 399-406. The bibliography included items noted in the substantial list of his contributions to the Linnean Society of New South Wales in List of the names of contributors in the first series (vols, I – X) of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales (1887), pp. 77- 81, as well as those published in other places or later.
The lapsed certificate for Woods could not be produced at the Royal Society Archives in November 2019, so the details are taken from the printed List of Candidates prepared annually after 1847 for the information of Council and Fellows (1884 list, p. 15). Tenison-Woods was first nominated in 1883 (Home (2003), p. 72), but the List of Candidates for 1883 could not be produced in November 2019. However, minutes of a meeting on 1 February 1883 lists the signatures shown here; details of the citation are not given, but there is no reason to assume that it was changed before the second presentation (Royal Society, JBO - minutes of the ordinary meetings of the Society). The layout is modelled on the form of the certificates used in the period.
The certificate is dated to 1882 by reference M to J. Hooker, 24 July 1882, which implies that the nomination process was at least underway, if not completed.
