This journal published by the Royal Society of London is a sister journal to one of the two oldest scholarly journals in the modern sense, namely the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. It is available in two online versions: a freely available version from Gallica, which, however, is comprised of only image files, with no searchable text files. a subscription-based version from JSTOR, which has a truly superb search engine that covers over three centuries of full-text articles from this journal. We have documented a selection of journal-title abbreviations to be found in this massive archive at Journal-Title Abbreviations in Old Journals in the Repertorium Veterrimarum Societatum Litterariarum.
