be made in writing, and must be signed by the proposer and at 
least one seconder; that such nominations be submitted by the 
Secretary to the next meeting of Council, and that they there- 
after lie on the table until the immediately succeeding meeting 
of Council, when they shall again be read over and accepted or 
declined, as the Council deem best in the interests of the Society. 
That the Council shall at such subsequent meeting pass the 
accepted nominations to the effect that the Treasurer may accept
