Proceedings: Biological Sciences

Journal Description:

A meeting of the Council on May 10th, 1832 resolved that abstracts of papers submitted for publication in the Philosophical Transactions from the year 1800 be published in Proceedings. By the 3rd volume the abstracts were arranged under the order in which the papers had been read at the meetings; the report of each discussion meeting was headed by a brief account of the business which preceded the reading of the papers. Included in the publication was the Anniversary meeting and reports. In 1905 the bulk of Proceedings increased so much that it split into two series: Series A (papers on the Mathematical, Physical and Engineering sciences) and Series B, (Biological sciences). Obituary Notices were printed in Proceedings up to April 1932 but since then have appeared as a separate publication. Proceedings are now published (A) once or twice (B) each month and include original papers of important new research findings and interesting reviews that shed new light on a particular subject or field.
