1
The date has not been filled in; the details were completed by M, with other supporters autograph signatures. The date assigned, the earliest it is likely to have been sent, is estimated from the date of the formal proposal; compare nomination certificate for J. J. Foster, 3 July 1890. Given the summer recess, this nomination for Milray could have been sent at any time between July and September 1890. M’s letter to the Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, 24 July 1890 (in this edition as 90-07-24a) suggests that the form had been sent by then.

M was also the nominator on an earlier certificate for Milray (in this edition as 90-03-31).
